Akte & Cren

Akte One brings in much of his feelings to his work, also their conversions. Though this does not change the handwriting that always remains recognizable. He always remains the authentic graffiti artist, on the wall, on canvas and in his mixed media work, who develops the urban expression and the characteristics of graffiti writing. Cren is a German-French artist of contemporary urban art, and it is important to him to incorporate the essence of graffiti writing into his works. For this reason, letter constructions, based on the graffiti style he has been developing for over 35 years, are usually the main elements around which the free art unfolds.

Cren ist ein deutsch-französischer Künstler der zeitgenössischen urbanen Kunst, und es ist ihm wichtig, die Essenz des Graffiti-Writings in seine Werke einfließen zu lassen. Aus diesem Grund sind Buchstabenkonstruktionen, die auf dem Graffitistil basieren, den er seit über 35 Jahren entwickelt hat, in der Regel die Hauptelemente, um die sich die freie Kunst entfaltet.
