inspiration from man's quest fred. when we think of artists we use the streets as their canvas what usually comes to mind is graffiti modern murals all political but our first report today focuses on a young man who blurs the lines between street art and classic paintings he has an amazing ability to copy paintings of legendary artists and recreate these works on walls in unexpected places they're so good that you need to look twice to determine that they aren't the original old masters we travel to malaga in southern spain to meet julio i'm not going. when german artist caspar daveed fleetly he painted two men contemplating the moon in eight hundred nineteen he would never have guessed that a copy of his work would appear on

a wall in southern spain some two hundred years later. i'm sorry the sky's the most work. that the transition from whites in the in from light to very dark has to be just right. that i don't get it right then no one will be able to understand the painting. just who you and i are come banding lives and works in the end illusion provinces manager in southern spain he's mastered the art of copying the works of great painters such as mourning a rembrandt and. one thing doesn't paint on canvas but directly on the walls in isolated spots abandoned houses or the porch of malaga for instance here a painting by spanish artist in new york or new lead us becomes a window to see. these ruins on a gated not far from the city. where you're tapping and the two are used to only

pain in the studio until a good feeding artist friend of mine asked if i wanted to come with him one day and i get. your anger started painting a picture on the wall and i really like the relationship between the painting in the environment and so i continue doing and i think that is. beyond just needs about six hours to copy a painting and about four for the frame he uses a clever technique that combines the shallows and shading to create the impression that it's three dimensional. two men contemplating the moon epitomizes the romantic view of nature commanding captures it on camera and posts a picture to instagram later as a creative dialogue between. painting on the surrounding landscape. there are two men looking at the moon from a hill. i chose this place because the landscape is just as hilly and we can see trees olive trees which are typical for this area. but

if you want to see these pictures you'll have to find them first they're often exhibited so to speak in the middle of nowhere bunning wants to create a new appreciation for art and he's very playful that's why he deliberately chose to paint for me as a maid of sleep near a highway. i'm interested in the relationship between an abandoned space on the one hand and work of art an incredibly valuable object on the other. it's taking the work out of its context from a museum that protects and perpetuates it to somewhere with a completely opposite character that's what interests me. i mean. like painters throughout the ages banding now also works on commission last summer he painted five works in the derelict former palace of culture in cabinets in eastern germany the watch included

a copy of. place one zero up of the sea of fog and a work by. commanding study the universe feels fine arts in malaga. he has a small studio in the old town where he prepares his works. he's never painted his own a region because he's been obsessed with painters from bygone centuries to his childhood. sent to a fine arts academy for children at the age of six one of the teachers particularly impressed him. he gave me a present and on the wrapping paper. or he wrote colors or sounds that can't be heard and sounds are colors that can't be seen clearly or you have to make music with your colors i still lived by this rule today. recreating great works of art. in unusual places.

egg whites and in chile has everything to minus one hundred ninety six degrees celsius using the nitrogen to make a crunchy popcorn like substance. he also creates a short cake base in a few seconds with the help of a cream dispenser and a microwave. then he answered raspberries and the ice cold popcorn and voila it's done but ian says anyone can make this kind of case. that this isn't the right place for good old zach or daughter pancake amabile cake where i mean for real high and baking into. a case in point is a shiny icing made from pureed fruit sugar condensed milk and gelatin. this tiny treat is fluffy and soft smooth but also firm and features chocolate and fruity

aromas. the elaborate decorations are all handmade and upscale treat through and through. but mathias is never satisfied . no never any honest professional would say the same that's ok it might sound shocking at times but it's a good thing because nothing is ever perfect it's perfect if perfection existed they will be no progress in life or toil so it is a good thing this is going to. lead to his works hard he wants others to be wowed by his creations to him that's the icing on the case. while staying with sugary delights is a reminder of this week's prize draw we'd like you to tell us what your favorite

artists who work with humankind's favorite pat allen and tricks have been viewed millions of times on you tube and social media. here's an interesting material for an artist to work with this forerunner of the wolf and the dog was made out of chewing gum second place in our list of european artists who find canines doggone cool to marie to use the beanie. the italian swears he didn't chew a single piece of the raw material that went into making his sticky sculpture he uses a hairdryer and always works with the same brand of gum which comes in both white and pink. it's said we all have a double ganger and that's no less true of these dogs from an italian animal shelter they're dead ringers for famous authors like oscar wilde. bushong casazza.

this soon but did i try to make the canvas live to pull something out of myself helpless should. be getting ahead with its ships that's why and the image and also notice me it's like a consultation between would actually be or not to be nothing. yet i see and feel when. when an idea that moment i completely is hold of the present to that safely about. that i was then i just completely to make sure that i don't have anything on me

that doesn't belong to my soul or away with a close there's no one around anyway you know. this and other substance i've collected all these colored pencils. and i use all kinds of different nutrition pepe is so. good notes so sometimes bog standard packing paper. has been it's the director fassbender for how the idea he said to me when i make a tell. you'll do the pictures. to show you how a lovely feed if i had already liked her from her french films for many many years and then one day i was allowed to draw her. but the most and she liked it to this. that was one of the great experiences of my life was. to

sit in. these are drawings i made during the film shoot in berlin up but. that's when i made studies like this country's to satiate student news. this is just this is a travel book and this was the first book that was ever made about my work i must say i didn't expect the film to become such an international hit for i have the courage to say that because it's true that sacrificed and. i will sleep i'm only interested in people in their surrounding exams and their possibilities and also their devilry mukesh kind or you saying that person. that's him that's nice that's good that's the face of the temple and this is

paradise it's sad paget's here. with the organ and he can float above it when he feels the urge. to come and i can only say that interpretation only comes afterwards while i'm painting and i know nothing at all it's that it. now what comes to mind when you think of the typical german on your face book series that so german takes a fun look at the stereotypes and actually it's ascribed to them. that's a soldier. once a week come to listen to me go for him and this pokes fun and. typically germany idiosyncracies. so we go weekly dose of german humor.

i don't know but today e.w. remax facebook page. now we round off today's show with a trip to london many millionaires and billionaires call the british capital of their home and when it's time for them to retire a regular cab home is not an option we've visited a luxury residence in london where pensioners can spend the golden years in opulence surrounding. diana staying back has been living at this retirement home in south london for almost a year she any other pensioners living here can afford the comfort and luxury that the residents offer she says it's well worth the price. coming back. and yes sure is certainly all my friends think the place to come.

out of or you know. there's several such homes for the super rich in britain they're spacious apartments are far removed from more conventional care homes for senior citizens. we did notice when people come in to look for the first time you can almost physically see the wall they have built around themselves because they are coming in they're expecting a traditional people's home mandatory bingo on tuesdays you know it's between so and so they can actually see as they walk around and see what we have to offer those walls come down and the price is actually no i can't imagine myself living. an apartment here costs upwards of four hundred thousand euros and that's without the services. the closer you get to central london the more expensive it becomes

one bedroom apartments in this luxury senior home currently being built in chelsea are going for three point three million euros you can even have a penthouse with a terrorist for twelve point five million additional services will cost extra of course but there are top notch and customised every taste and resident. because you want to tip you off that it's your grandson. in the park a we might be coming over to join your friends you might be. watch the movie off then you might be going down to the spa for treatment everyone knows that if you're a woman for me i might be having a. haircut or shave you know there's a whole host of opportunities you might be reading a book in the garden you know it's these aren't you not expect to see anything you wouldn't normally want to do we didn't we're given the canvas new opportunity to do them to the full and do them in the nuclear of luxury and comfort. and thanks to modern technology everything is being done to surmount the physical and mental

problems related to aging for example staff are immediately informed if residents forget to turn off the stove. so we do have sensors in the floor so that people have accidents will fall over we'll know about it we have done special lighting is called so case invites and which is very innovative in allowing. peak times of thought was outside your fit inside so people can set your own environment the idea is to make the residents feel that they live in luxury accommodation and not pensioners home it's a concept many are interested in this week we've had over two thousand cars and people from both within one hundred yards of where everybody down in chelsea to from overseas people think is going to be a great place to go to a lot of people and this is part of a wider trend were moved out of the country when they're younger to raise a family in i think industry when i go over what's been middle of the seventy things to do and see and we'll see quaver cities but also great access to great

medical needs but you want to be near your children your grandchildren and london is a is a good place for the number of our customers. and london isn't the only city catering to wealthy seniors similar luxury care homes for the elderly are currently in the planning in other parts of the world. that's all we have time for today but we'll be back against more of featuring my favorite german christmas biscuit the spec you love maybe you've tried them before and if you don't want to. wait that long you can find us on instagram d w your remarks are plenty more content so cesar morrow and bob barr from. next time on your own x. . games coming up on december sixth which in many european countries means it's time for the christ honest biscuits known as speaker not she was in germany and
