A project with Arnaud DeMeyer in a very hidden part of the Metzeschmelz, a semi-subterranean site measuring around 500m2. As the title explains, the main feature of this project was the simple line. This is the connection between Spike’s pieces and Arnaud’s sketches. The pair worked together over five different sessions. Arnaud was sketching the unique surroundings in his sketchbook, while Spike painted on the walls.
Arnaud did a total of 14 sketches, and Spike painted 16 pieces. Spike thinks this may be his purest and most radical project so far.

A Spike-Stick-project in the former Arbed industrial steel work site located in Esch-Schifflange. Painting in abandoned places is something that Spike and Stick love to do, either together or alone. As Spike’s idea to realise a project with a limited colour-range pleased Stick, he asked Spike to commit to a common project by using 5 colours. They chose 3 primary colours – red, yellow and blue – as well as the 2 non-colours white and black. As the site was so vast, the project became a massive undertaking and some walls were such a size that both Spike and Stick worked on pieces that were unprecedented in scale for either artist.
