The "Pimmelmaler" (Penis Painter) is initially a word mark protected and registered by the artist Matthias Kopp since March 20, 2001, with the number 30168956, file number 30168.
Against this background, Matthias Kopp (* 28.08.1967, Kassel) also legally and officially refers to himself as The Penis Painter and produces paintings under the name The Penis Painter that exclusively contain the scribbled, childlike depiction of the male genitalia.
Matthias Kopp paints the penis symbols in reference to the "penis graffiti" from his school days, when these symbols, as is still partly the case today, adorned or defaced or even damaged tables and benches "again or rather still." (Diary, 1999; age 32)
The artist is concerned with re-evaluating the continued "scribbles" under the self-explanatory artist name, according to the motto: "from the blackboard to the museum" or "creative failure before the end of human destiny".
