In December 2017 Düsseldorf has got a new mural at Bonner Straße 88. It was realized subsequent to 40° Urban Art Festival 2017 by COKY, who is a founding member of Düsseldorf based DAC Crew. My first encounter with him was at 40° Urban Art Festival 2015. His psychedelic cats nearly brought me out of my mind. Like a Cerberus one of his cats watched the entrance to his room, which was divided in the middle. One half was designed in the eye-popping colours of the cats, until the mad! Inside you felt tranquilized, but turning round, you found the same patterns in deep black and white and came down immediately. Next time I met a piece of this artist, was at 40° Urban Art Festival 2017. The first thing I saw alighting the tram at Holthausen, was one of his funky cats staring with big yellow eyes at me. I was thrilled – the kitties were back!
