Ohne dich würde ich mich nicht trauen by Herakut

street art/ art in public space
A prime example of the artist duo Hera and Akut can be found on the façade of the community centre in Cologne Ehrenfeld.
Hera, an artist from Frankfurt, takes on the graffiti design part, while Akut, originally from Schmalkalden, focuses more on concept, drawing and text. Both worked as a team from 2004 to 2020 and combined their styles in many of their works. Together, their artworks pursue the humanitarian approach of enhancing urban locations and setting positive accents in the urban world.

Here, the grounds of BüZe Park are embellished. The work makes direct reference to the group of people for whom the space is intended. In fact, it was not so long ago that this space, now almost unimaginable, was avoided rather than visited, especially in the evenings and at night. The mural can be seen as an effective building block for reclaiming the park for the children and the neighbourhood.

Zwei unterschiedliche Szenen in einer Bildkomposition. Die linke Hälfte zeigt eine Person in einem Raum, die mit einem Fallschirm und einer Fliegerbrille ausgestattet ist. Der Hintergrund weist industriell anmutende Elemente auf. Die rechte Seite des Bildes enthält ein digitales Kunstwerk mit einer violetten, kapselartigen Struktur, die in einer sweißen Substanz eingebettet ist, daneben ragt ein goldener, blumenartiger Stab in einem lilafarbenen Hintergrund empor. Diese Elemente kontrastieren die zweiteilige Komposition des Bildes auf eindrucksvolle Weise.Two different scenes in one composition. The left half shows a person in a room wearing a parachute and aviator goggles. The background has industrial-looking elements. The right side of the picture contains a digital artwork with a purple, capsule-like structure embedded in a white substance, next to which a golden, flower-like stick rises up in a purple background. These elements contrast the two-part composition of the picture in an impressive way.
