Thorsten Raab

Born in 1974, he is based in Hamburg, Germany, and has been a member of the artist collective "Die Schlumper" (a collaborative group of artists from diverse backgrounds) since 2009. His creative roots lie in music, but he later shifted his focus to painting. He is strongly influenced by black music and art from the 1970s and 1980s, including Basquiat and Keith Haring. He is also a collector of vinyl records, and occasionally works as a DJ with his friends.
