LAYER CAKE – THE VERSUS PROJECT
The great exhibition THE VERSUS PROJECT, initiated by the artist duo LAYER CAKE, took place in the URBAN NATION art gallery from July 4th to December 31st, 2021. In collaborations with 13 other artists, the two created beautiful and interesting works of art through a creative interplay. The vernissage took place on July 3rd.
With LAYER CAKE, the two Munich graffiti veterans PATRICK HARTL and CHRISTIAN HUNDERTMARK aka C100 combine their talents in a dynamic, painterly dialogue. Christian and Patrick have been experimenting with the fusion of their styles since 2015. The released writing elements of Patrick are penetrated and overlaid by Christian’s hard-edge floating fields. In this way, variations in writing and lines, far fields and concealment, out and departure that appear to be in depth, emerge. Classic themes. The pictures are not planned, they happen. Sweet, crunchy and rich in history – fittingly, the result and the newly formed artist duo of these two old hands got the name LAYER CAKE: A cake with a rich filling. At the same time, more or less by chance, a new concept emerged – the idea of turning one of the most important rules of graffiti, the going-over or crossing (not to paint over the pictures of other writers), and turning it upside down. – Urban Nation
With THE VERSUS PROJECT, both artists continue to spin the idea of LAYER CAKE and invite guest artists to each work of art who also take part in this creative process. Patrick and Christian begin work in their studio, which they send unfinished to the guest artists. These intervene in the painting process without prior consultation and thus do their part. The works are often sent back and forth several times until both LAYER CAKE and the guest artists are satisfied with the result. This creates an artistic dialogue, the canvases become a platform for a discussion on a painterly level. All participants in this project combine their passion and strong reference to style writing, street art and graffiti. – Urban Nation

“Every time the artwork came back to me I was shocked because LAYER CAKE’s handling of color was brutal and destroyed almost everything of my painting. Again and again you had to look for a new starting point and react to the composition. That was really not easy and it cost me a lot of nerves.” – CHAZ BOJORQUEZ
