Lages Art Manufactory
Discover unique, custom commissioned art and striking, independent works for communities and private clients alike.
Art unites – in private spaces and right out in the open.
As a freelance artist, I create urban art and independent works that reach far beyond the borders of Neckargemünd. I bring bold, custom art projects to life for municipalities, communities, and cities across Germany.
Shaping our shared spaces is my true passion: bringing a shot of creative, vibrant energy to kindergartens, schoolyards, town squares, city parks, or raw building facades injects immense life into our communities. These spots break up everyday routines with fresh inspiration, forge local identity, and bring a tangible boost of spirit and joy into our towns and cities.
Current Art Exhibition
From July 18, 2026 to August 23, 2026, my second major art exhibition for the city of Neckargemünd opens its doors. Come explore these distinctive works within the historic walls of the Museum im Alten Rathaus (Hauptstraße 25). Curated with insight by Dr. Hettinger, this visual trip digs into three deep layers: the play of reflections, our relationship with nature, and the relentless rise of artificial intelligence.
“My head is spinning, WORLD.?!”
The dialogue between analog and digital art. Nature-Human-Machine: Quo vadis, future?

Looking Back & Passion Projects
On October 13, 2021, a big dream became reality: my very first solo exhibition opened its doors. It was an absolute blast sharing my independent works from 2017 to 2021 with you. Most of these pieces went on to find great new homes, with a selection installed as a permanent exhibition at Mr. Wirth's physiotherapy clinic in Neckargemünd until 2025.
Art That Blows Up the Daily Grind
Another project close to my heart is turning boring utility boxes into canvases. Since late 2021, I’ve been commissioned by the city of Neckargemünd under the banner "Color Against Gray" to inject vivid life into public spaces. Every design is crafted specifically for its spot—often fueled by close, inspiring collabs with local clubs and emergency response crews. Since 2024, thanks to community backing and the Bad Schönborn Tourism Association, Bad Schönborn is popping with color too.
A Heartfelt Thank You
It's a genuine honor to leave my creative mark on the public spaces of Neckargemünd and Bad Schönborn. Massive thanks to Mayor Seidel, Ms. Schönborn, cultural officer Dr. Hettinger, and the whole "Freiräume" crew for the killer trust and teamwork!
Curious? Check out the shots of these colorful utility boxes in my gallery under "Graffiti Art."
About me? Let’s talk about “Spray-king” my mind!
You won't find a standard corporate headshot with my bio. Why? Because in graffiti, the piece speaks for itself, not the face. My work is my calling card.
My concept of "Spray-king" (Bilderspräche) is no typo—it's a manifesto:
Breaking the rules on purpose: The deliberate twist defies convention—just like graffiti does. It yanks art out of the mainstream and throws it straight onto the streets.
Spraying means speaking: It blends raw visual storytelling with the grit of can control.
The takeaway for you: My pieces speak their own loud, unapologetic language—bold, edgy, and straight to the point.
