GUEST PORTRAITS

N.P.V.: playful characters and imagined buildings

Buildings turn into characters, a tiger follows a shoulder blade, and a backpiece brings a whole imaginary world together. N.P.V. joins The Chamber Berlin on 13 and 14 November 2026.

A drawing can become a little world

In the selected tattoos, familiar subjects take unexpected forms: buildings have faces, small figures gather around objects, and architectural details become part of larger characters. Clear outlines, open skin and patches of black keep the drawings readable. Some pieces are small and playful; the backpiece develops the same interest in figures and buildings across a much larger surface.

From Aachen to Berlin

N.P.V. is based at Ugly Youth Tattoos in Aachen. The portfolio also includes drawings, wall paintings and analogue photographs. That interest in images beyond tattooing is visible in the mixture of city scenes, animals and characters in the selected work. The Berlin visit takes place at The Chamber on 13 and 14 November 2026.

Flash and your own idea
