street art/ art in public space
Even Cupid, the god of love, is unable to touch the "paper bag heads" emotionally with his arrows. Although all the bullets hit, they have no effect on the person concerned. Like the lady behind him, the gentleman is too busy with his smartphone.

The paper bag is a common motif for artist Christian Böhmer. Not only does it give his artworks a recognisable value, but it also functions as a means of social criticism.
The artist, who lives in Cologne and Schweinfurt, began working with graffiti as a self-taught artist in the 1990s and developed his own style over the course of his career, which is defined in the direction of classical painting.
