Biography / C100

Christian Hundertmark / C100 (born 1974 in Munich) is an artist and creative director. His first sketch “Anarchy” in 1989 was the impetus for a career as an active graffiti writer in the 90s. After completing his studies in communication design, Christian became interested in post graffiti art in 2000 and was one of the pioneers of the then new street art movement in Germany in the early 2000s.

Inspired by many trips abroad (London, Barcelona, ​​Stockholm, Paris) due to joint projects with artist friends on site, Christian (as author and designer) published the book “The Art of Rebellion” in 2003, which quickly became a new one several times The bestseller and is celebrated in the international urban art scene as the standard work for street art and as the first book on street art.

In the years that followed, the book series was supplemented by the successor “The Art of Rebellion II & III & IV”, which documented the current status quo of the street art movement and sold over 80,000 copies worldwide.

Christian’s artistic works are graphically abstract compositions, which, influenced by his stations in life as a graffiti artist and graphic designer, result in an interplay of calm surfaces borrowed from hardedge painting, broken up by free swings, spray surfaces, smudges and graffiti tag shapes.
The use of different techniques and materials creates multi-layered images, the energy of which is absorbed by opposing, flat surfaces and gives a feeling of calm.

In his pictures you can also often discover an interplay of straight lines and curved shapes, which is based on the look of a concrete skate park from a bird’s eye view and can be traced back to his passion as a BMX rider and skateboard since the 80s.

His works have been published in various publications and exhibited in galleries and museums in Berlin, Vienna, Zurich, Paris, Barcelona, ​​London and New York. Christian lives in Munich.
