My guest today: the artist Jaybo Monk. Is there really anything I
need to say about him? He has been around some time, creating an
intense body of work, he is showing internationally at great
galleries for many years his work is part of huge collections, such
as the Dean Collection of Swizz Beats and Alicia Keyes, and his
early background is as exciting as his art. In short: He ran away
from his home in France when he was 14, lived on the streets of
Paris and Toulouse, made Hip-Hop Music and Street Acting and of
course Street Art, travelled a lot, came to Berlin in the 80ies - a
very different town back then - co-founded the magazine “Style and
the Family Tunes“ and the fashion-label „Irie Daily“, both in the
90ies, and for me is simply one of the most influential artists of
our times. I am a very a huge fan of his for a long time, so I was
more than happy when he got in touch as he visited Hamburg and we
could sit down at my studio to talk.
