GERMANY: Artist Special – DAVE THE CHIMP – Human Beans are saving the day

You simply have to love them – the „Human Beans“ in RAL 2000 color by the British and currently in Hamburg living artist DAVE THE CHIMP. Cheeky, funny, intelligent, effectively reduced to a maximum, with the highest recognition value. An ingenious „trademark“ that always makes you smile, amuses you uninhibitedly, but also makes you think, makes you reflect. Whenever I discover his works in hidden corners of cities, my day is saved. Check out the collection with numerous artworks from Hamburg and Berlin.
