When designing the London helmet, Barras was inspired by a festival summer full of music and good humour.
The first approach
At the beginning of the creation process, the artist simply starts drawing shapes and silhouettes that he already knows will turn into something specific.
with the flow
The artwork develops in the process. It is a mixture of preliminary considerations and spontaneous inspirations that arise in the flow.
The final artwork
Will Barras describes the feeling he conveys with the helmet as "festival feeling at sunrise".
hülpman's approach
Hülpman has never painted a helmet before. That is why he started to let himself be driven by the shape of the helmet.
Color selection
Black and white drawings he calls his "discipline". With the compact drawings, the "abstracts", the artist tries to tell stories.
creating a story
The viewer can create his or her own story with the individual "abstracts". Sometimes you have to look several times. And so it is in Berlin.
the hülpman helmet
Corrections are made at the end of the creation process: Maybe a few more dots here or a line there. Voilà – the Hülpman helmet is ready.
