If you dare a walk through the maze of subways, walls and pillars, you\u2019ll discover various graffiti styles, kitschy pictures and spray tags, but many little pieces of art are found here and there. You\u2019ll get an idea of just how varied and vivid Mannheim\u2019s graffiti scene is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-041.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8201 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-041.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-041.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-041-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-041-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For Pablo, it is a walk into the past as well\u2014his own past. Back to the times, when the police would sometimes knock on the front door of the apartment, in which he lived with his brother during the 90s. Back then, Pablo used to be on tour as Hombre \u201cadmittedly not always in a legal manner,\u201d says the 38-year old. It all began on November 24, 1995. \u201cIt was my best friend\u2019s birthday party\u201d and the new guys from the class were invited\u2014 the cool ones from Frankfurt. \u201cDuring the party, they taught us how to spray letters.\u201d Pablo was 14 and he caught on to it straight away. It was not so much the graffiti as a form of art that interested him. \u201cThe lifestyle fascinated me. Those guys gave themselves cool names, created kind of a secret society and spent the nights outside at secret locations. Is there any adolescent who would not be into something like that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>His search and arrest, as well as subsequent penalty measures were a wake-up call for him, however. \u201cI understood: I needed a different approach if I wanted to continue doing graffiti,\u201d Pablo explains. Apart from letters, he started to paint figures \u2013Characters\u2013 inspired by comics and cartoons. Over time, he developed his own style and the confidence to turn his hobby into a profession. Passers-by can discover various characters by Hombre between the railway line and the castle grounds. \u201cI still enjoy coming here. Sometimes with friends from the community. And we have a round of spraying.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eThis is not graffiti at all, this is art!\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201eIt is clearly both.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As you exit the subways to enter Mannheim\u2019s Squares, you\u2019ll see what happens when graffiti leaves the niche. Out of the dark, into the light of the town\u2019s fa\u00e7ades. From the fringes of society right into the core of the city. There, residents and visitors usually think: \u201cThis is not graffiti at all, this is art!\u201d Pablo smiles: \u201cIt is clearly both.\u201d Since 2013, the project \u2018Stadt.Wand.Kunst\u2019 in Mannheim has turned fa\u00e7ade after fa\u00e7ade into an urban art gallery. In the meantime, there has been some striking proof on 21 objects that graffiti and art are not contrary to each other.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2013_Herakut-c-Alexander-Krziwanie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8208 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2013_Herakut-c-Alexander-Krziwanie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2013_Herakut-c-Alexander-Krziwanie.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2013_Herakut-c-Alexander-Krziwanie-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2013_Herakut-c-Alexander-Krziwanie-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project has done some educational work,\u201d says Pablo. He stands at the Square F6 next to the foot of \u2018Lily\u2019, which is taller than him. It all began with her. In 2013, the artist duo Herakut was looking for a wall for their larger-than-life picture book called \u201cThe Giant Storybook\u201c, whose pages are spread all over the world. S\u00f6ren Gerhold, managing director of the cultural centre, the Alte Feuerwache (old fire station), heard about the idea and made every effort to bring one page of it to Mannheim, supported by the Mannheim property company GBG, the Heidelberg spray paint producer Montana Cans and the cultural office Kulturelle Stadtentwicklung (now the Kulturamt). From then onwards, Lily has been extended over 6 floors, proudly and upright, even though arrows stick in her calf\u2014because her \u201csuperhero power is forgiveness,\u201d the writing reads.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2014_Aske-c-Manuel-Wagner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8209 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK-2014_Aske-c-Manuel-Wagner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of the people involved knew that Lily shouldn\u2019t stay by herself. Cooperation in the project was great and reactions of the Mannheim locals were positive with hardly any objections. \u201cThe work was a perfect door-opener,\u201d says Pablo. \u201cIt resonates with the observers. It is emotional and comprehensible.\u201d A year later, Lily got company: The \u2018Modern Thinker\u2019 shines between grey fa\u00e7ades on the other side of the Square, created by the Moscow artist Dmitri Aske, who took up the colours from the playground opposite for his modern interpretation of Auguste Rodin\u2019s Thinker. Pablo goes into raptures: \u201cI love it when artists give some thought to the location where their work is created and the environment is built into it.\u201d He asks if we notice anything here? Shaking of the head. Then he points at the scrawl on the distribution cabinets and surrounding houses. The Thinker remains unspoiled. \u201cSuch a work is respected for what it is: real art. Even by scrawlers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1507_Franklin_Murals-1765.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8229 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1507_Franklin_Murals-1765.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1507_Franklin_Murals-1765.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1507_Franklin_Murals-1765-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/1507_Franklin_Murals-1765-768x518.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The project \u2018Stadt.Wand.Kunst\u2019 gathered way in 2015. Three new works were created. Local artists designed three fa\u00e7ades on the premises of the former US barracks Benjamin Franklin Village, among them Pablo. \u201cIt was my first wall of this size; I was in awe.\u201d Designing a metre-tall wall in many days\u2019 work is quite different from spraying something on the wall of a subway tunnel at night-time in a couple of minutes in a rush of adrenaline. \u201cIt\u2019s good training,\u201d smirks the 38-year old. He and the Swiss artist Boogie painted a more than contented, corpulent boy in the midst of sweets.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8241\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK_2018_Hombre-SUK_Jordanien-c-Soeren-Gerhold.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8241\" class=\"wp-image-8241 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK_2018_Hombre-SUK_Jordanien-c-Soeren-Gerhold.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK_2018_Hombre-SUK_Jordanien-c-Soeren-Gerhold.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK_2018_Hombre-SUK_Jordanien-c-Soeren-Gerhold-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SWK_2018_Hombre-SUK_Jordanien-c-Soeren-Gerhold-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In Amman, Jordan: \u2018Balim\u2019 by Hombre SUK.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe Highest Carb Wall\u201d is, however, gone.

For a few minutes he just lets his gaze wander across those three women\u2014a painting of grief in shades of blue and grey. A work that captivates him again and again and that drew global attention via social networks. Since then even if not before, Mannheim has been a permanent spot on the street art world map. A large number of international artists register every year to take part in designing house walls in Mannheim and the guided tours along the paintings are usually booked up. \u2018Stadt.Wand.Kunst\u2019 has joined the self-evident ranks of the town\u2019s places of interest. A walk with Pablo Fontagnier, alias Hombre SUK, however, proves that an excursion off the beaten track of great works is worthwhile to be able to peer into house entrances and gateways on the left or right side of the street; to notice the art on subways; to view art on pillars under bridges, without any need for making any haste\u2014because art lurks everywhere in Mannheim.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stadt-wand-kunst.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.stadt-wand-kunst.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since 2013, the project \u2018Stadt.Wand.Kunst\u2019 has transformed many fa\u00e7ades in Mannheim into pieces of art.
