The connection is the third small piece of stencil art and graffiti, surprisingly placed close to the floor and a second staircase in the Gallery building. Placed on a pillar it produces a surprising effect of recognition and proximity for pedestrians passing in front of it. The rider is a small piece of stencil and graffiti art, of a rider and a horse, a grey stencil piece finished off with colorful dynamic graffiti doodles. Only when the discreet skier has been discovered do the rest of the piece become a brightly colored snowy landscape and the apparently lost alpinist becomes a pioneer and adventurer. The templates took a little over a week to prepare, but the idea for the motif was already smoldering long in Whatson. In the middle of a cosmos of colors, words, symbols and movement, the monochrome expression of a grayscale skier appears. In this project, three hidden characters can be found around the gallery and inside the art: The Skier The longer you look at Martin Whatson’s work, the more details will appear, as well as the hidden characters in between. There, Whatson brought the publicly visible wall to life with his calligraphic graffiti language. Powerful imageryĮntering the galleries from the main entrance at Promenade 25, visitors are treated to a special sight in the historic staircase. Three works with a distinctive feature in common: each graffiti is located behind glass for visitors to be inspired by the artist’s work. In addition to the main work in the stairwell at Promenade 25, Martin Watson left two small works in the building at Herrenstrasse 6 and in the Promenade Galleries. Whatson had never used a staircase as a setting for his work before, which is what particularly appealed to him about this project.
