Jos Tappe, born on 09.09.2001, grew up in Herford in North Rhine-Westphalia and currently lives and works in Berlin. After completing his school career, he decided to study architecture at the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld in 2021, which he pursued in parallel with his art. In addition to drawing architectural sketches, he became fascinated by the graffiti scene in his early teens. The works he created over the years featured bright colors, expressive motifs and sophisticated perspective. He succeeded in convincing the small townspeople with their rather skeptical East Westphalian disposition that graffiti is more than just meaningless scribbles on bare walls. As part of a municipal project, he was given official permission to creatively design many corners of his village with clever ideas. The way he expressed his creativity changed over time. From 2020, for example, he no longer used public spaces but the canvases in the basement studio of his family home to realize his ideas. Since then, the rattling of graffiti cans has been an ever-present sound as soon as you enter the Tappe family home. Figures from our childhood show themselves on the sunny side of life. In love with Minnie or Jerry, on the hunt for money with Scrooge or drinking champagne with Bucks. They all know how to live “the good life”.
