Tens

Tens is a Bernese lettering artist, illustrator and graphic designer. After his career in advertising agencies in Zurich and Bern as art director, Manu Rohrer decided against big money in 2015 and opted for an authentic, self-determined lifestyle. Manu has started to draw and paint again and to publish his work as Tens – his graffiti pseudonym from his youth. Since 2017 Tens has been under contract with the WeArt Gallery, which has helped him to exhibitions in Bern, Munich and Hamburg. Tools and media vary greatly – depending on the project, Tens paints with a spray can on masonry, brush and pen on canvas and wood, with ink on paper and as tattoos under the skin. Tens is the father of two children and lives and works in Bern.
