Lastplak is a group of around nine painters with different backgrounds and diverse skills. Our goal is to paint, no matter what surface, size or location. Our work can be found all over the world, but our homebase is Rotterdam, so that's where most of our stuff can be seen. Ja toch!
In the summer of 2006 we dicided to celebrate Sinterklaas, so wrote our name on papers and after 4 about 5 lotteries we all finally had somebody elses name. For this person each had to paint his specific character or piece. A picture had to be made, framed and wrapped as a gift, accompanied by a poem ofcourse !
In about one week Lastplak & friends painted a 100 x 7 m. wall on the back of the TDS printers buiding. It is visible from the train between Rotterdam and Delft, just outside Schiedam. About 15 artists participated.
For a Wohnzimmerevening with the theme "Berlin" at club Off_Corso we painted a piece of the Berlin wall. This wall stayed there for about a month and was located right at the entry of the stairs between te club part and the lounge bar.
The Fashion NL expo in the GEM Museum The Hague features work of ultra-hip Dutch fashion designers. To give the expo some extra appeal a couple of "street-artistst" were invited to work on the entourage of the expo. Lastplak, DStruct, Ewos and Mamacita were glad to do the job!
…and Rachid, if you ever read this, you still owe us the money!
