The Good in Paul (2024) is a layered love letter to the hidden moments of optimism buried in the everyday. Jonas Stirner orchestrates an urban symphony of color, grit, and quiet meaning, where a familiar French bakery sign floats above a collision of city walls, neon murals, and passerby energy. It’s playful, textured, and alive with contrast: between structure and spontaneity, elegance and chaos.
The piece centers around the word PAUL, but the focus isn’t literal—it’s emotional. Stirner conjures a spirit of unexpected warmth in a cold city corner, letting fractured geometry and saturated pigments speak in a language of resilience. The central mural bursts with color like a heartbeat, while the surrounding architecture wears its wear and tear proudly, like the city has endured—and still dances.
There’s an undeniable magnetism here. It’s not just the color or the composition—it’s the feeling that something meaningful is hiding in plain sight. The Good in Paul is for the collector who values narrative depth and artistic risk. A piece that captures not just a city street, but the rare moments of beauty and goodness that rise up from beneath it.
