Hyäne

About the artist

The art of HYÄNE is a critical examination of the global domination of perverted consumption. The problematic aspect of the general beauty-side which opposes HYÄNE and expresses criticism through art is the everyday depreciation of art. HYÄNE gives the model a new life, a uniqueness and a character so that it finally has the freedom to show itself as it really is. "HYÄNE" has not only aimed at striking single brands strikingly and has moved away from the classical "adbusting" sector and expresses the criticism as "understatement" in the context of up-cycling. The long-standing friends were painted in 2011 by a trained, friendly artist. M! O & Happy Guy has always refined her art and always developed further, without any sales pressure. The now fourth exhibition is a solo of the duo. HYÄNE's credo at exhibitions was always "class in front of mass", so that the two artists have now their works of art at exhibitions in the same series with great works of such artists as J.R. Artist, Keith Haring, Thomas Baumgärtel and BANKSY. Both Happy Guy and M! O are also active as soloists, but when they wear the costume of the wonderful HYÄNE, then they always paint in pairs at work, often at the same time and sometimes in a way that one is expected to do more than the other, quite funny.
