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 an MSc in Economics & Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School.
As a child, he was inspired to become an artist, as he grew up surrounded by artists who gathered at his parents' art gallery "Kaffeslottet" on the island of Bornholm.[1]
Beck is a self-taught artist, an impressionist - he mostly paints portraits alla prima in oil on canvas.[2]
In 2009 his first show – an event and portrait exhibition named "Elect your saviour"- took place in Brorsons Church, Copenhagen.[3][4]
The Exhibition and church was at that time occupied by roughly 30 Iraqi refugees seeking Asylum in Denmark.[5]
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.[6]
