MadC

Books (as Claudia Walde) • Sticker City – Paper Graffiti Art (2007) • Street Fonts - Graffiti Alphabets From Around The World (2011). Work from 154 artists, ranging from 30 different countries. In the creation of the book, MadC directed artists to use international alphabets that she had spent two years traveling the world to collect. • Mural XXL (2015) 700 Wall Her major international breakthrough came however in 2010 with the production of the work that has become known as the 700-Wall – a 700 square-meter work along the train line between Berlin and Halle. This painting is most likely the largest graffiti mural created by a single person, taking four months to finish. == Art style ==

MadC's move from street art to gallery work was a transformation, as she explains, "taking the street energy to a canvas and how spray paint translated differently onto canvas". She later moved on to 'Spectra' Paint, which had a transparent effect on her work with spray paint. She has also been known to use ink, watercolor, acrylic paint and acrylic markers in her work. Her tagging style incorporates science fiction and fantasy elements, and is influenced by such artists as Vincent Van Gogh and the late graffiti artist Dare (real name Siegfried von Koeding, whom she collaborated with on his piece Basel). Walde dedicated her piece 6313 – Here to Stay to Dare. Mad C also works with spray paints on canvas. At her first solo gallery in 2015, Night and Day, she showcased works such as Nineteen Nineteen and Twenty One Zero Six. These works had either a black or white base (symbolic of her night and day work required of her for tagging), and investigated “the relationship between overlapping colors, light, glass and calligraphic movement”. • 2013: Le Mur Paris (France) • 2013: 500Wall (Germany), Graffiti • 2019: 18-story mural New Jersey == Exhibitions ==
