Carl Frederik Waage Beck
Carl Frederik Waage Beck (Born 1979 in Copenhagen, Denmark) is a Copenhagen-based community activist and artist working under the pseudonym Paintshooter.
Paintshooter graduated in 2006 with a MSc in Economics & Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School.
In 2009 his first show - an event and portrait exhibition named "Elect your saviour"- took place in Brorsons Church, Copenhagen.[1][2]
The Exhibition and church was at that time occupied by roughly 30 Iraqi refugees seeking Asylum in Denmark.[3]
Paintshooter was the vicechairman of the Parish Council which allowed the Iraqis to stay in the church.
The Refugee seekers were later dislodged in a police raid ending a 3 month long stalemate.[4]
