Peachbeach, Urban Spree, 2014
Berlin is a mecca for street art murals, thanks to its many abandoned places and empty fire walls all over town. Obviously this attracts many artists who come here to find huge canvases for their work and a freedom of expression that they might not have where they come from. In Berlin the people have an openness, even an eagerness for all the different genres of art and they especially enjoy it when it’s out in the public for everyone to see. I think I have never been in another city in the world where street art murals have achieved a similar status as the normal sights of a city that people come to see here.
Wall Dialogue was a group exhibition at Neurotitan Gallery that showcased the work of 11 graffiti and street artists from Berlin (and one guest artist) who are mainly known for their large-size murals here in Berlin but also work in other cities all over the world. We have checked up on the artists and collected some of their murals here in Berlin, some of which still exists while others have been painted over already. Enjoy our new set of amazing artworks on the walls of Berlin after the jump.

Rubbish Fairy
If you read as many fairytales as I did you end up believing you’re living in one yourself. And even if Berlin is not really the perfect scenery for a Grimm fairytale movie, your fantasy has ways to discover even in a cement monster like Berlin a magical kingdom. But it seems that the Berliners have their own ways to end the stories. Here the princes prefer having cupcakes and coffee instead of saving the sleeping beauty from the dragon. And oops – no, Rapunzel, I can’t get you out of the tower, I have to sleep with all the seven dwarfs in the darkroom of the Berghain.
So the most important thing is to get your role in the story straight. For myself I have decided to give up my princess life in my nice castle and return to my true nature. Believe me, being the witch in town helps avoiding to get eaten up by some dragon or get dumped for cupcakes. So if you want to join my witch club leave me note. Free lesson in all kinds of curses included. If you need more to get into my witch mood I recommend you the trash-art-exhibition Urban Witches Not Bitches at the Neurotitan Gallery. More pictures and info after the jump. And don’t forget you can ride the U-Bahn and still think you are on a broom.
