Jimmy C New Walls in Berlin, Germany

Posted on Monday, 30th April, 2012

Mr Jimmy C has been a busy man in Berlin – painting 3 walls in 4 days! The first in Hackescher Markt, the second in Revalerstrasse, and the third in Ostbahnhof.

We’re particularly excited about the Revalerstrasse piece: a new take on ‘The Artist’s Tears’ to celebrate the 10th Anniversary since James first painted it back in Sydney 2002. The piece became James’s first ever print through No Way Art Projects late last year.

He first exhibited The Artist’s Tears at the Gitte Weise Gallery in Sydney (2003), and it was later acquired by the Art Gallery of South Australia for their permanent collection.

In Mr C’s words: “The painting became known as my signature painting and marks the merging of my interest in figurative realism in painting with graffiti or street art. I thought Berlin was the appropriate place to mark this occasion by creating a new version of the painting in the drip style. It is good to give this it a second life and to reintroduce it to a whole new audience.”
