RAY
In Der Disco Hund, the dog imitates John Travolta's famous dance scene from Saturday Night Fever. Ray carefully copied the scene, even including the colourful light tiles of the dance floor.
Ray sprayed from 1983 to 1985, but continued painting, just under a different name while studying classical painting.
'The Naut' from 1985 was his last official piece, sprayed on a 30-metre-high bridge in the south of Munich. It is presumed that he was helped by his brother, who would sometimes assist him.
