25T47 Berlin’s Bocho: Women of Prenzl’ Berg

E46, B41.

Based in Berlin since the late-1990s, Spanish-born artist El Bocho is well-known for his many colourful displays of street art throughout the city. I met with a friend M. in Prenzlauer Berg: first, at Maria Bonita for their grilled burrito; followed by a walk through the Kiez in easy pursuit of ice cream and coffee at Süßfein on a warm summer afternoon. What’s shown are examples of Bocho’s work we found within an area smaller than 10 city-blocks.

“Welcome Kitti’s”
“Love is hard to find.”
“Maikäfer flieg …” (May beetle in flight)

… and, technically, juuuuust inside Friedrichshain …

Red socialism likes `em big: this one is for Ernst Thälmann. As one surviving remnant from the DDR-KPD, the 1980s design by L.Y. Kerbel is a stylized socialist monument, which represents Communist ideals as “powerful, victorious, and surpassing the scale of humans.”
“Die Rebellion ist gerechtfertigt.” (The revolt is justified.)
“If I knew the world ended tomorrow, I’d still plant an apple tree today.” Wall mural by herakut for Urban Nation One Wall, 2015.
“Tor zum Prenzlauer Berg” (The Gate at Prenzlauer Berg), by H. von der Goltz, 1999.
“Attack of the 50 Foot Socialite”, by Tristan Eaton, for Urban Nation One Wall 2014. This is Eaton’s interpretation of the 1958 movie “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”.
Märchenbrunnen (Fairy Tale Fountain), completed in 1913, and surrounded by sculptures of characters from Grimms’ collection of fairy tales.
Dornröschen (Sleeping Beauty).
Schneewittchen (Snow White). On her lap is a dwarf who has spectacles. Does he have a beard, or is that a lace collar around his neck?
