Mural with Super-A and Rutger Termohlen in Breda for the Graphic design festival in Breda, NL.
The wall is inspired by the sinister history of the location, which used to be a graveyard for people that died from the plague (around 1515). Because of this the graveyard became unpopular, therefore the cemetery was used to bury the poor, children, soldiers and suicides. The children dancing around the rat, the spreader of the plague is a link to the children song ‘Ring around the Rosie’. Ring around the Rosie is a reference to the black sores that would appear on your body as part of the plague.
Currently the four of us are working on this show, a 4 person groupshow with three of my best friends. In the next couple of weeks there will be some progress shots of the works in progress for the show.
Nadat hij afgestudeerd was aan de Kunstacademie St. Joost is Collin in 2004 naar Maastricht verhuisd. Vanuit hier werkt hij aan verschillende exposities en projecten als illustrator, schilder en mural schilder.
Zijn werk kan beschreven worden als de persoonlijke strijd en plezieren uit het dagelijkse leven. Zijn werk dat bestaat uit tekeningen, schilderijen en zijn gigantische muurschilderingen, is gepubliceerd in verschillende tijdschriften, boeken en getoond in diverse galerieën en projectruimten in Nederland, Duitsland, Frankrijk, Engeland, België, Amerika, Luxemburg, Italië, Engeland en Spanje.
Op zondag 30 Maart is Collin aanwezig in de Stadsschouwburg Sittard-Geleen om alle Expodeelnemers te jureren!
