WELCOME!
Christoph Fuhrken, alias KAMELOGANA, is a German artist whose work can be seen on the walls of streets and in galleries. He is the founder of the Kamelogana Project in 2003, which brought together international artists to work for peace through exhibitions or fundraising events.
There are two characteristic and recurring motifs in his works. A two-humped camel and a four-petalled flower. Motifs that can be found in all his works of art. As a stencil artist, he produces paper stencils for his works of art. He cuts the design of the image out by hand with a scalpel knife and transfers the motifs to different image carriers using stencils and spray paint.
His stencils used in "Trojan women" are the bearers of a vision for beauty, love and peace in the world.
He has shown his works in numerous solo and group exhibitions, for example, the benefit exhibition Kamelogana Project "PAX" in 2009 together with his friends from Frankfurt a.M., the Jewish painter Max Weinberg and the Imam of the Noor Mosque, Hadayatullah Hübsch in Frankfurt a.M., Sachsenhausen. This year the internationale Stencil Art Prize in Australia featuring his artwork 'Collection Feed Your Head' on the front cover of the anniversary book CUT: 10 Years of the Stencil Art Prize.
A selection of artworks is also currently available through the NEUE KUNST GALLERY, 76131 Karlsruhe and the GOLDEN EI GALLERY, 79367 Weisweil, Germany
