yesterday evening i went to pay a visit to Chin Chin´s finissage at total-artspace; she is our beloved streetartist who delighted us last summer with some of her incredible works here on the PLATOON.area.





Emili Theander came to berlin from sweden in 2003, since then she plastered the streets of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg with some awesome, if not gruesome, charachters, coming straight from another world, ready to capture our wandering imagination.







it´s not unsual to walk around revalerstr. or simon-dach-str. and stumble upon these creatures, sometimes watching us through their hands while covering their eyes in a shylike pose, others caught in a dreamlike stillshot where animals and deformed people interact very airily. often they stare at us with hallucinated eyes, as if wanting to say sometihng like a question, one that makes you feel uneasy, leaving behind a taste of the abnormal.









her streetart wallpapers are one thing though, she mostly enjoys drawing oil on canvas, and her works have already been exhibited in several galleries and cafes. as for instance: konsthall C. , letrettage, miss hecker(pic), cafe soylent, lovelite and more.
her street art work can also be seen at bar lucia, oranienstr. 34.






so Chin Chin, thank you so much for sharing with us what tickles your imagination. you´re on the right path. and your genuine modesty in creating such incredible art should embarrass the most arrogant of established artists.
