Case is a German Graffiti Artist living in Frankfurt / Main. His images are based on the re-presentation of body shapes and photo-realistic portraits. He is one of the four members of the “Maclaim Crew”, which was founded in 2000 and is considered as pioneer in photo-realistic representation within the graffiti scene.

He focuses on the body which he abstracts from its human origin to make way for narrative, monstrous, animalistic or mythic elements. The usual ideal of beauty is replaced by bizarre-controversial characteristics, which are vexing but simultaneously fascinating.

"The Heat Is On. I love to paint powerful images. There is nothing more powerful and universal than hands. Drawing hands is a way to express words without using words. I like the viewers to experience my art without influencing them too much." - Case Maclaim

Andres Von Chrzanowski (Case Maclaim), The Heat Is On
Germany  • 1979

Presentation

Born in Germany in 1979, he began his career as a graffiti artist in 1995. In 1999, he founded a crew with Akut (from the tandem HERAKUT) and Rusk, which would become MACLAIM with the addition of the urban painter Tasso. Holder of a diploma in restorer and art curator, Case's particularity lies in his highly technical compositions superimposing human hands, which he has been producing for several years in large format with a spray can on walls all over the world. The hands are one of the oldest subjects in painting if we consider in particular the rock stencils of the Paleolithic found in caves. Gripping organs, they have a wide range of functions in humans. In art, they are often the vector of non-verbal exchanges which are an integral part of language. Taking up this fairly recurrent element in political propaganda posters, Case reappropriates it in the sphere of street art as a symbol of power and unity. The position of the fingers and the gestures relay all the expressiveness of the painting to convey a message, an emotion or an idea. In V, in fist, in the shape of a letter, at Case the pictorial code passes through a graphic alphabet which almost replaces the traditional lettering of graffiti and the propagation of the blaze as a signature. It is therefore the hands that sign, both literally and figuratively. In an ultra digitalized world, it obviously makes sense to draw fingers on the gables of facades facing touch screens.
