This Sly painting was created by Absynnd. Absynnd is actually two people,Tanja Selzer and Dierk Hagedorn, who've been working together since 1995 to create art. This co-operation means that each Absynnd work of art has two creators: One half of Absynnd begins a painting - for example -, and the other part continues. Thus it goes always back and forth, until Absynnd is united: Then it is finished.

Absynnd is closely connected to the Hamburg literature scene and publishes an art and literature newspaper of same name.

Thanks to Absynnd for sharing their work with us!
