Experience a captivating blend of urban inspiration and contemporary finesse as Artplex Gallery proudly presents its latest exhibition, Perspectives On Street Art.

This exhibition invites art enthusiasts to embark on a journey through the evolution of artistic expression, celebrating the synthesis of two dynamic movements. Through an engaging fusion of colors, techniques, and narratives, Perspectives On Street Art pushes boundaries and challenges perceptions, redefining the artistic landscape in truly unparalleled ways. The exhibition is set to open its doors on November 11, 2023, at 4:00 PM and will be a must-see event for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on the intersection of street culture and contemporary art.
German artist THITZ puts a new spin on the tradition of the artist on the Grand Tour: he paints city scenes upon paper bags scavenged in the places he visits. The bags are opened out flat for maximum coverage, and the paintings are executed with acrylics in energetic delineations of bird's-eye views of individual landmarks.
Thitz takes Pop Art to the next level: He intensifies it and integrates it with everyday reality, art, life, and their sensorial experience. His subjects and motifs are born of wide travels. The cities and places depicted can be immediately recognized, but they do not merely portray views. They are transformations into the colorful, lineal weave of Thitz’s art. The rich, infinitely detailed circumstances are translated into a vivid and diverse narrative tissue of line-like events.(Gallery Press Text 2024)
In this beautiful Gallery in Beverly Hills Los Angeles , Thitz's works were presented and exhibited very successfully since 2020.
Since then, all THITZ works from these years have been sold in this gallery at art fairs or in other galleries. Due to the continuing international sales success, it was no longer possible to deliver new THITZ paintings to Los Angeles.
THITZ paintings are regularly presented at the best art fairs in the USA.
Please follow the website below to see where new works by Thitz are being offered in the USA or internationally.

ART KARLSRUHE 2024 HALLE 1 A24
THITZ Bag Art Show bei Galerie Rothamel
Für diese Messe konnte THITZ einige wunderbare neue Werke zu seiner Utopia Serie fertigstellen. Wer gerade jetzt durch unsere Wälder spaziert, kann sich gut vorstellen, dass einen die Sehnsucht überkommt, längere Zeit zu verweilen oder gar sein ganzes Leben im Wald zu verbringen. - Natürlich mit allen zivilisatorischen Errungenschaften der urbanen Kultur.
Dieser Sehnsucht folgt Thitz, indem er genau jenen Traum vom urbanen Leben im Einklang mit dem Erhalt der besiedelten Natur visualisiert.
For this art fair, THITZ will complete a wonderful new works from his Utopia series. Anyone who walks through our forests or mountains right now can well imagine that they are overcome by the longing to stay for a long time or even to spend their entire life in the forest. - Of course with all the civilizational achievements of urban culture.
Thitz follows this longing by visualizing that dream of urban life, in harmony with the preservation of the nature populated by it.
Das Bild „Utopische Zivilisation im Wald“ gilt schon jetzt als Schlüsselbild dieser Serie, erforscht es doch die Grenzen der noch darstellbaren und ablesbaren Chiffren urbanen Lebens zur emotionalen Erkenntnis der Naturdarstellung.
So gelingt es THITZ, eine verklärte Vision der naturbezogenen „Utopia“ in ein Spannungsfeld mit unserem urbanen Alltag zu setzen. Indem er uns einerseits die Unmöglichkeit der Realisierbarkeit, aber andererseits auch den Traum, die Vision einer positiv zu gestaltenden Zukunft vor Augen führt. Thitz Werke sind Bilder die Mut machen und ihre ganze positive Energie erst bei näherer Betrachtung entfalten. Wer sich darauf einlässt erlebt ein immerwährend lebendiges Fenster in seine utopische Welt.
The painting “Utopian Civilization in the Forest” is already considered a key picture in this series. It shows the limits of the ciphers of metropolitan life that can still be represented artistically to the emotional recognition of the, in a positive sense, melancholic overall impression of the depiction of nature.
In this way, THITZ succeeds in placing the romanticized vision of a nature-related “Utopia” in a field of tension with our everyday urban life. On the one hand, he shows us the impossibility of realizing such a Utopia, but on the other hand, he also shows us the dream, the vision of a future that can be shaped positively. Thitz's works are images that encourage you and only reveal their full positive energy upon closer inspection.

THITZ SOLO SHOW
Go West - Bag Art
For Thitz, traveling around the world is an essential part and also the theme of his painting. In recent years his travels have taken him through Morocco, Iceland, Brazil, the USA, Norway, Korea, Ecuador, Mexico, Thailand, India, Turkey, Nepal and South Africa. For Thitz, traveling undoubtedly means inspiration, communication and exchange with people, a dialogue with foreign cultures.
Thitz ties social ideals to the technical possibilities of our time. He uses the hustle and bustle of big cities to show us his peaceful and, above all, communicative version of a globalized world. Brown, red, green or blue people, some very small, others huge, others covered in leaves, live harmoniously together here.
Thitz is a great storyteller and there is an incredible amount of detail to be discovered in his work. His bags are almost bursting with lust for life and creative joy. His art is unique and he has managed to become a “brand” himself.

Thitz (1962) is een meester in het schilderen van een levendig stadslandschap. New York, Tokyo, Barcelona, Amsterdam, London, hij schilderde alle grote metropolen in acryl en inkt over 'papieren tasjes' op canvas. De handvatten steken aan de rand van het beeld uit als identificatietegels. De ‘ tassen’ reizen van Thitz nemen ons mee naar verre landen en tijden waar we luchtig en zonder tijdsdruk kunnen reizen. Zijn schilderijen worden wereldwijd geëxposeerd.
THITZ
Utopia — “The future is now”
“How do we want to shape our future?” There is hardly anything we seem to need more urgently than utopias - ideas, hopes and plans for how things could continue. Although we now know that everything is connected to everything else and that constructive future shaping can only happen based on this knowledge, this knowledge is not followed by the corresponding conclusions. This results in many types of pessimism, fear and anger, which are discharged impulsively and backwards with the demand for the old situation against the situation that is currently felt to be unbearable. Art and culture come into play here with necessary design processes: thoughts and alternative concepts of the world emerge that broaden the field of vision and open up spaces of possibility. Longings and alternatives are made equally visible. They offer opportunity and potential for the development of new ways of life and structures for a different way of living together that is free from striving for efficiency. (Ann-Katrin Günzel, KUNSTFORUM 275)
Bags made from all materials and parts of the world are his trademark; they are a painting surface and an important part of his pictures. Thitz is internationally successful with his extraordinary works of art and is represented in important museums and collections.

THITZ
Utopia — “The future is now”
“Wie wollen wir unsere Zukunft gestalten?” Kaum etwas scheinen wir derzeit dringender zu benötigen als Utopien - Ideen, Hoffnungen und Pläne, wie es weitergehen könnte. Obwohl wir inzwischen wissen, dass alles mit allem zusammen hängt und konstruktive Zukunftsgestaltung nur aus diesem Wissen heraus geschehen kann, folgen dieser Erkenntnis nicht die entsprechenden Schlüsse. Daraus resultieren viele Arten von Pessimismus, Angst und Wut, die sich impulsiv und rückwärtsgewandt mit der Forderung nach dem alten Zustand gegen die im Momentum unerträglich empfundene Situation entladen. Kunst und Kultur setzen hier mit notwendigen Gestaltung- sprozessen ein: Es entstehen Gedanken und alternative Weltentwürfe, die das Blickfeld weiten und Möglichkeitsräume eröffnen. Sehnsüchte und Alternativen werden gleichermaßen sichtbar gemacht. Sie bieten Anlass und Potenzial zu Entwicklung neuer Lebensweisen und Strukturen für ein anderes, vom Effizienzstreben befreites Zusammenleben. (Ann-Katrin Günzel , KUNSTFORUM 275)
Tüten aus allen Materialien und Erdteilen sind sein Markenzeichen, sie sind Malgrund und wichtiger Bestandteil seiner Bilder.
Thitz ist mit seinen außergewöhnlichen Kunstwerken international erfolgreich und in wichtigen Museen und Sammlungen vertreten.

Thitz formuliert farbenfrohe Utopien. Seine Werke präsentieren ein wohlgelauntes Heute und ein schwungvoll gezeichnetes Morgen. Auf seinen ausgedehnten Reisen sammelt er Attribute urbaner Kulturen – und was bildet eine Zivilisation besser ab als Einkaufstüten? Thitz recycelt sie vorbildlich in seine Stadtlandschaften, und ihre Laschen verwandeln sich in Reißleinen für den Sprung aus der nüchternen Realität in euphorische Dimensionen. Für Skepsis ist hier kein Platz.

THITZ -Utopia & Bag
"Thitz exhibits ideas. His art makes utopias visible. And it challenges us as viewers to discover."
"A concrete starting point for Thitz's artistic utopias is Venice. As a place of longing, the lagoon city exerts a great fascination on the artist. As is well known, Venice is threatened by floods. By masses of water as well as by streams of tourists. In addition, Venice itself is a utopia realized on millions of wooden piles.
In Thitz's art, Venice becomes a double figure of reflection. The utopia that has become a city - as it still stands today - is threatened by scenarios of doom. It is therefore facing a gloomy, dystopian future. But Thitz removes this contrast between utopia and dystopia in his art by finding a hopeful utopian solution for the dystopian scenario of doom. In concrete terms, this looks like this: Venice as a functioning and fascinating underwater city. A completely new attraction. Or, as you you can see it on the first floor: a Venice in which the streams of tourists are well-ordered and in manageable numbers, so to speak, and drift on the blue-clear water in admiration of the city."
Quote from the introductory speech by Mr. Florian Stegmaier (cultural scientist)

It was simply a great event 150 years of Brenntag with Mr. Christian Kohlpaintner and the entire company board in front of my Berlin Utopia picture (2x3m) and the speech by Chancellor Scholz in the Zeche Zollverein Essen
"On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Brenntag Group, I was allowed to create this special work. The 2x3m painting shows a futuristic scene in Berlin, where I lived for many years. Because of the immense format, the wealth of detail was of course complex, but it was worth it :) The work invites you to an endless journey of discovery into my always positive version of the future. The picture will later be given a prominent place in the company." Thitz Quote
