Kai Harald Krieger alias “SiveOne”
Lives and works in Giessen and Wetzlar, Hesse, Germany
Artistgroups: 3Steps & Funky Fingers
SiveOne loves the combination of abstract and impluSIVE paintings with big color-intenSIVE surfaces and figurative pictures which borders on photo-realistic art. In his figurative work he picks out feminine and excluSIVE women's motives in the style of the 60s or heroine characters. He is inspired by films like "Barbarella", "Attack of the 50ft Woman" and "Star Wars".
With his graffiti-letters he connects pop-art colors with hard crossings and slightly horizon-like fadings. The letters fascinate by symmetrical forms and firm - even almost aggresSIVE - structures, which develop in details succesSIVE during the years. These are complemented with masSIVE 3D-blocks and exploSIVE arrows which complete the compact letter-piece and keep the balance of the style. He loves the open discussion between picture and viewer.
SiveOne: "My basic artistic intension is like a clock, which has started to strike since my youth. At night it keeps me up for ideas and inspires my works during the day. Worldwide not ending forms of urban culture and facets of expression with graffiti-art and street-art fascinate me anew every day."
