Originally from Frankfurt, El Bocho has lived in Berlin since 2006, but visited the city as often as he could before. In Frankfurt, he started with graffiti in 1996 and is thus concerned with urban space. Despite his typographic training, he increasingly concentrated on figuration. Drawing and illustration are his bases, human representations his focus and from 2003 El Bocho developed his stencils  in initially only one colour, mostly women’s faces. From 2005 he increasingly decided to work on paper, for paste ups in urban space and simultaneously developed his character Little Lucy. It was inspired by the main character of the TV series \u201cLittle Lucy \u2013 Fear of the Street\u201d from the former Czechoslovakia in the 70s. El Bocho gave her a new hobby: killing her cat. On his paste ups on the street the artist tells figuratively and sometimes with short sayings humorously how Little Lucy chases the cat, sits on it and uses it as a swing, drowning it or destroying it with other methods. Macabre and entertaining at the same time, easy to understand like a comic or a caricature. A book with Little Lucy and poems “Little Lucy – First tortures” was already published in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
