Works by Kay Schwarz
Kay Schwarz was born in Leipzig in the late 1970s. Like many young people in the GDR, he saw the film "Beat Street" on Belafonte and began to tingle. Then, shortly after reunification, when there were spray cans to buy, he was one of the first in the new federal states of Germany to start with graffiti and became a key person there. From about 1993/94 he mainly painted trains, which caused him difficulties with the judiciary in 1996, there were house searches and court hearings. After completing vocational training as an energy electronics technician at Stadtwerke Leipzig, he began studying design at the Gutenberg Oberschule in Leipzig in 1997. In 2000 he began studying business administration at the HTWK Leipzig, which he broke off after 4 semesters. At the same time, from 2000-2002 he was at the HGB evening school in courses on typography, nature studies, experimental painting and life drawing. From 2002-2009 he studied communication design at the Bauhaus/Dessau University of Applied Sciences, graduating in 2009 with a diploma. As of 2009, KaySchwarz157 is a freelance artist in Leipzig/Germany and has never painted a train again.;)
