CASE
Dicecream Magazine🔳CASE Maclaim was born in 1979 and was raised in East Germany. He received a diploma in Art Restoration and Conservation at the Erfurt University Of Applied Sciences.
Although he worked on his style from the year of 1995 when he started toying around with spray cans.
CASE made it perfectly clear on many occasions that he rejects the mass-produced century we live in – therefore, he always works hard at making a hand-painted version that is obviously special and next to impossible to copy.
His visual vocabulary usually relies on the components of the human body that are abstracted from their origin and are given new narrative, frightful, animalistic or mythic elements.
One of the most poignant aspects common to all of the CASE’s works is the texture of the surfaces he uses.
These are painted on a background that is made from pieces of cardboard of various sizes – most of the cardboard comes from the packaging of the spray paint cans and they are held together with glue, staples and tape.
