Signal Gallery in association with Campbarbossa announces the forthcoming solo show by the renowned German artist Andreas Von Chrzanowski AKA ‘Case’. Following on from successful solo shows in Los Angeles and Düsseldorf/Germany, his first London show will be an exciting event. As well as producing works for the gallery, Case will be painting a number of large street pieces across East London.
Case has been producing spectacular street pieces for a decade, primarily as a founder member of the celebrated German street art group, the Maclaim Crew. Specialising in heightened form of photorealism, several of the artists in th Clan have moved onto working individually and producing fine art works for the Gallery. Case has taken this route too, great acclaim. Developing the pioneering photorealist spray paint style of the group further in his own works, Case has produced a series of stunning detailed paintings that have made his work much sought after by galleries and collectors alike. In his solo show at Signal Gallery, ‘Never Odd Or Even’, Case is taking his inspiration from the fantastical world of Alice Through The Looking Glass.

case at Carmichael Gallery
Carmichael Gallery just announced The L.A. case, an exhibition of new works on canvas by German artist case. This is case’s first US solo exhibition and the second time he has exhibited at Carmichael Gallery.
case’s new body of work references imagery from elaborate, self-staged photo shoots using spray paint on canvas. Combining exacting technical expertise with an innovative hint of liberation and irony, he investigates the parallels that exist between the conflicting states of convention and controversy, manipulating beauty in a dark, thrilling and provocative manner.
case is widely recognized as one of the best photorealistic spray paint artists in the world. His groundbreaking technique, detailed in the book Ma’Claim: Photorealistic Graffiti, Falk Lehmann and Steffen Petermann, Publikat Verlags und Handels GmbH and Co. KG, Germany, 2006, has set new standards and established a strong international collector base and fan network.
Born in Erfurt, Germany, in 1979, case has exhibited his fine art in galleries in the UK, Germany and US. He achieved his Diploma in Art Restoration and Conservation from Erfurt University Of Applied Sciences. case is also a founding member of graffiti crew Ma’Claim, a group of artists renowned throughout the world for their striking photorealistic murals. He currently lives and works in Frankfurt.

case (ma´claim): Bekannter Fremder at gallery pretty portal
case is one of the members of Graffiti- crew MA`CLAIM, who brought the photorealim into graffiti. Ma´claim is AKUT, the male part of the artist duo HERAKUT, RUSK and TASSO. Together they invented the style of Graffoto and gained very fast a big interanational reputation for that.
Since 16 years case is working with spraycans and in the last years he started his solo carrer, showing and selling art. Starting in the streets, the art of case is now to be seen in galleries from London to Los Angeles. case, who lives in Frankfurt/ Main focusses on different aspects in his work. On one hand we have a detailled description that looks slick and heavily rouged. On the other hand we have surrealistic elements, which are setting up a tension between image and observer.
case is painting his pictures on rough materials like corrugated cardboard which he fixes together with selfadhisive tape. This structure is the synonym for the walls case is used to work on.
