Philip Wallisfurth - Senor Schnu

Www.wallisfurth.com Bereits seit 2007 ist der Künstler Philip Wallisfurth alias Senor Schnu in Deutschland und der Welt unterwegs.

Seine Arbeiten umfassen ein breites Spektrum von klassischen Paste-Ups über Moos-Graffitis, Skulpturen und Malereien auf Leinwand, im Stil zwischen Comic und Abstrakt, gerne mit popkulturellen Anleihen. Liegen seine Wurzeln in der Straßenkunst, so ist Wallisfurths Medium vor allem die Sprühdose. Seinen Stil kennzeichnet aber auch seine Flexibilität in punkto Materialwahl und künstlerische Ausdruck

sweise: Er experimentiert zum Beispiel seit einiger Zeit schon mit eindrucksvollen, anamorphen Rauminstallationen. Er selbst definiert seinen Stil als einen ambivalenten Mix aus „dirty“ Graffiti- bzw. Street Art- Techniken und „cleanen“ grafischen Elementen, wie man sie in der zeitgenössischen Kunst findet. Eine andere Besonderheit ist auch sein Umgang mit Farben, die von starken Kontrasten und positiver Energie leben und beim Betrachter ein Gefühl von „Instant- Happiness“ auslösen. Generell ist es ihm wichtig, dass der Betrachter ein Teil des Kunstwerks wird und mit ihm interagieren kann, wie beispielsweise bei einer anamorphen Rauminstallation, die betreten werden kann oder durch die Identifikation mit Characters wie dem fröhlich lachenden Eis namens Senor Schnu. Der Künstler organisiert und kuratiert nebenbei in und außerhalb der Szene bekannte Projekte wie zum Beispiel „Wandelism“, „Hometown Berlin“ oder das Paste-Up-Festival Germany von der Idee bis zur Umsetzung. Philip Wallisfurth steht nie still und ist immer auf der Suche nach dem nächsten spannenden Projekt. So war er beispielsweise im Herbst 2019 mit einer anamorphen Rauminstallation Teil der Ausstellung „Ride the Dragon“ in Shanghai, die vom Skateboard- Museum organisiert und kuratiert wurde. Außerdem gestaltete er die Fassade des Urban Nation Museums für Urban Contemporary Art in Berlin. Er kann außerdem Porsche, Jack Daniels, Google und Vans zu seinen Kunden zählen, um nur einige zu nennen.

Interspace
Anamorphic installation
Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, 2024
Created in collaboration with

I’m happy to share this work again: “Interspace”, a free anamorphic installation I created in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg in 2024.

This project was a truly special experience for me. Being able to transform this small architectural structure freely, directly in the city, and turn it into a walk-through artwork was something I’m still very grateful for.

“Interspace” is about the space between things. The space between architecture and painting, between movement and perspective, between the artwork and the person experiencing it.

As you walk around it, the piece changes with every step. Abstract forms unfold across walls, columns, roof edges and surfaces, creating shifting perspectives and unexpected visual connections. The viewer becomes part of the work, not only by looking at it, but by moving through it.

For me, this is exactly what makes anamorphic and spatial artworks so powerful: they invite people to discover, to interact, and to experience art in their own way.

A big thank you to for the collaboration and the opportunity to create this work, and to for this beautiful night shot.

Also thank you to for the production and .raisen for the assistance.

Showing work matters.

For me, exhibiting art is not only about sales or immediate financial return. Of course, that part matters, especially as an independent artist, but the real value often begins when the work enters a physical space.

Paintings need to be experienced in person. They change with the light, with the architecture, with the people standing in front of them. A gallery space can create exactly that: a focused moment where the work can breathe, open up and start a real dialogue.

I would love to show my work more often in strong gallery contexts, project spaces and curated exhibitions. My practice moves between urban contemporary art, abstraction, spatial thinking and a strong connection to architecture and I believe it can bring a powerful, positive energy into the right rooms.

So this is also an open invitation to galleries, curators and art spaces: if you are looking for contemporary abstract work with urban roots, strong visual presence and a clear sense of space, I would be happy to connect.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look, ask questions, feel something and be part of these moments.

Opposés essentiels II
43.5 × 33.5 × 3.5 cm
Oil crayon and spray paint on canvas, incl. shadow gap frame
Berlin, 2026

Opposés essentiels II is the counterpart to the previous work from this series, continuing the dialogue between contrast and balance, raw structure and vibrant energy.

The natural canvas remains visible and becomes an essential part of the composition. Its rough textile surface gives the work a grounded, almost quiet presence, while the vivid fragments of color break through with intensity. The bright colors appear like traces, movements or memories layered into the material.

For me, this piece is about opposites that do not cancel each other out, but create tension, rhythm and life. The work feels reduced, yet full of movement. Calm and energy, emptiness and density, control and chance all meet within one frame.

Part of the Essentiel series, this work focuses on what remains when everything unnecessary is stripped away.

Multiperspectivity (Solo Exhibition)
Thank you, Cologne.

I’m still deeply grateful for the energy, the conversations, and the incredibly positive feedback around my last exhibition. Seeing so many people come together, take their time, ask questions, connect with the works, and experience the space as a whole means a lot to me.

Especially in times that are not always easy, this kind of response gives me the feeling that the path I’m on is the right one. It was beautiful to hear that the exhibition managed to bring positivity and quality together, and that the room itself became more than a place to show artworks. It became an experience.

A very special thank you goes to for making his showroom available and trusting the process. And of course, thank you to everyone who came, supported, shared thoughts, opened new conversations, and maybe even planted the seeds for future projects together.

As David Bowie once said:
“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise I won’t bore you.”

That feels pretty close to the spirit of this journey.

Gradations Essentielles Mixtes
(Mixed Essential Gradations)
80 × 105 cm
Spray paint, ink, acrylic and oil crayon on canvas
Berlin, 2026

Some parts of this work took much longer to build, while others happened in just a few seconds.

The vertical lines were created with a special technique using ink and thinner, where control and chance meet directly on the canvas. I can guide the movement, choose the direction and prepare the surface, but in the end the material also decides for itself. That tension is what keeps the work alive for me.

The composition brings together soft gradients, strong color fields, flowing drops and sharp abstract forms. An abstract line moves through the lower part of the painting almost like a signature, winding around the drops and fragments of the tag.

For me, Gradations Essentielles Mixtes is about energy in transition. It holds the moment where something planned becomes open, where color starts to flow, and where a simple movement can turn into something full of rhythm, depth and positivity.

Fragments Essentiels III
25 × 25 × 3 cm
Spray paint on wood panel
Berlin, 2026

This work continues my exploration of how fragments, traces and gestures can come together to form a larger visual language. As part of a three-piece group with the same title, Fragments Essentiels III focuses on reduction and tension while still carrying the energy of the street.

I am interested in the way surfaces in cities slowly build themselves over time through layers, interruptions, overlaps and unexpected combinations. In this piece, those impressions are translated into a concentrated composition: a dialogue between soft transitions and sharp forms, between calm structure and intuitive movement.

The strong contrast between the luminous red and the cooler blue tones creates a balance of energy and stillness. For me, that is where the work becomes alive: in the space between intention and spontaneity, between clarity and openness. Even in a small format, I wanted the piece to hold a sense of movement, positivity and quiet complexity.

As part of the wider Essentiel series, this work reduces things to what feels necessary while still allowing feeling, rhythm and atmosphere to unfold.

Studio Moment

Sometimes the best works happen when I stop thinking too much and simply start moving.

This piece was created directly in my studio on the wooden walls where I usually paint my canvases. This time, the wall itself became the artwork. A canvas is integrated into the composition in the upper left corner, almost like a piece within the piece, blending studio, process and painting into one spontaneous moment.

It was painted quickly, within just a few hours, without a fixed plan or too many decisions in advance. I followed the colors, the rhythm, the feeling and the energy of the moment. What came out is a mix of abstraction, movement, urban structure and pure creative impulse.

For me, this work is a reminder that positivity is not always something you wait for. Sometimes you create it by doing. By starting. By trusting your intuition. By allowing color, movement and creativity to lead the way.

Listen to your feelings. Stay open. Create before you overthink.

Opposés Essentiels I
30 × 40 cm
Spray paint, ink and oil crayon on natural canvas, incl. black floating frame
Berlin, 2026

This work is built on contrast: the raw, natural texture of the canvas meets an intense abstract movement of color, gesture and layered marks.

For Opposés Essentiels I, I worked with spray paint, ink and oil crayon to create a fragmented abstract tag that feels both planned and accidental. It is inspired by urban walls, where traces, colors and forms slowly build up over time until they become their own kind of composition. Here, I wanted to translate that energy into a more focused and intimate format.

The natural canvas keeps the work grounded, while the strong colors, drips and overlapping shapes bring movement, positivity and tension into the surface. It is a dialogue between control and chance, between raw material and expressive color, between the street and the gallery.

Framed in a black floating frame, the piece becomes part object, part memory of the city. It belongs to the Essentiel series and was shown in my solo exhibition Multiperspectivity in Cologne.

Multiperspectivity
Solo exhibition
Showroom, Cologne-Mülheim
April 26 – May 16, 2026

With Multiperspectivity, I had the opportunity to create an exhibition that went far beyond simply hanging works on a wall. Within the limits of time, space and budget, I was able to transform the Seileise Showroom into a colorful, positive and immersive experience.

In only five days, I created an interactive anamorphic artwork, integrated parts of the walls and floor into the exhibition design, and presented around 40 new works. Even the glass surfaces became part of the concept, with transparent films bringing another layer into the space. The challenge was not to overtake the entire room, but to keep the balance between installation, gallery setting and the individual artworks themselves.

For me, the exhibition was about perspective in every sense: how we move through a space, how a room changes when we become part of it, and how art can shift the atmosphere around us. I wanted the exhibition to feel open, energetic and alive a place where color, movement, interaction and personal encounters could come together.

It was truly special to see so many people experience the show, step into the work, have conversations, give feedback and connect with the pieces. Thank you to everyone who came by, shared kind words, supported the exhibition or took a work home.

A very special thank you goes to for the trust and support and for the support physically and mentally, trust and energy that helped make this possible.

Flux Vital Essentiel
70 × 70 × 7 cm
Spray paint and ink on wood panel
Berlin, 2026 – until January 15, 2026

“Flux Vital Essentiel” translates to “essential life flow.”

This work is about the movement of energy: warmth and cold, positive and negative forces, control and coincidence existing at the same time.

Planned shapes and clear visual paths meet a more fluid, unpredictable surface underneath. I used a special ink that partially breaks through the layers above, almost like something deeper pushing its way to the surface.

For me, this reflects life itself. Even when we try to define things clearly, something hidden, emotional, or uncontrollable can still find its way through. The essential flow remains alive.
