Representing
Representation comes in many forms and we don’t presume with a ‘one-size-fits-all’ philosophy on how to do that. We want to create an atmosphere where artists can thrive. A community of like-minded people with a broad spectrum of work. Established artists attracted by our ‘Fair Trade’ commission policy and newer ‘graduates’ who may need our help via mentorship, promotion or regular bursaries. Exciting art to keep our clients minds from resting. Take a look for yourself.
TOMMY FIENDISH
London based artist Thomas D Wright, AKA Tommy Fiendish, has made his mark inseveral creative fields as a musician, street artist, sign-writer, TV set designer, and tattoo artist. Wright draws upon these diverse experiences in his current practice as a freelance painter. Graduating with first degree honours from LCC, University of the Arts London, 2018, he now works from his studio in Hackney, east London. Wright’s core process lies with acrylics and spray paint and enamel on linen. His work is often experimental, combining expressive marks and gestural abstract ideas with pockets of graphic detail. His paintings reference vintage images and surreal metaphors to depictc ontemporary situations, often with darkly humorous overtones. Working in series allows him to explore ideas, themes and techniques, and expand his field of allusions, capturing dystopian social commentary with a twist of macabre drollery.

LISA BETH OLDER
I am a painter in the American tradition of Abstract Expressionism and action painting. I bring to this genre a new level by excessive expression through the implementation of my signature style “Bend & Blend” technique, a bending and blending of paint. This technique embodies the richness of texture and exudes three-dimensional relief effects. My art reflects the complexity, excesses and frenetic energy of NYC, where I live and paint, and where I both enjoy (and endure) a richly texturized society filled with multi-dimensional layers of culture, clutter, colour, personalities, often resulting in sensory overload. To make sense of how I live, I purposefully journey inward, fearless in my abandon, as I escape metaphysical realities to find my own internal meaning to this chaotic existence.
I work mostly from the subconscious, willfully wrestling down reason and surrendering to a deeper place in my being where I can find real and palpable answers. I paint in order to emote. Detached from outer stimuli I arrive at an omnificent trance-like state from which there is no return for me. Something takes hold that is beyond my control. And I know I resolve my work when I can visually make sense of the chaos on the canvas and when the meaning I express resonates with the viewer. Each new stroke leaves vestiges of the prior stroke insight, thus inviting the viewer to peer through the otherwise “unseen” or “missed” vestiges of earlier stages of the painting and reflect upon the underpinnings of my journey. In the end, I rely solely upon the viewer to complete the image. The results are indulgent, sensual and detailed, and the multiple images that may be conjured up by the viewer are infinite. But the meaning of the painting always remains a constant to be shared by all.
Rufus Krieger
I was born in Saarlouis, Germany and studied in Cologne, where I currently reside. I wasn’t into maths or sports growing up but found I could draw quite well and that is when my love of art began. I was originally charmed by cartoons, vintage ones in particular, and went on to develop a fascination with vinyl album covers (a pop culture influence). Before studying art, I had learned to be an engraver and later became interested in the history of art. Today I am particularly interested in new media and its possibilities and have traded my paintbrush for a computer.
My works can take from 2 days to 6 weeks to produce. My personal preference is rendering digital graphics on Dibond (an aluminium composite material) with acrylic and glass but also use paper, canvas and metal. I have produced over 300 large pictures, with around 100 drawings in smaller formats.
Inspirations, like ideas, are neither here nor there. Art arises in the mind against the backdrop of one’s inadequacies. Rhythm begets emotion and inspires my creations. I strive to avoid forcing beauty and thus perturb my fellow human. That would be the opposite of art. My influences are varied but I have been particularly inspired the work of Syd Mead, Eyvind Earle and Martin Kippenberger too.
I have previously exhibited in Cologne, in 2012, 2014 and 2015 and am currently doing so in Corona, Germany. I have also been published in Europe and the USA.

Tim Onday
Tim Onday, also known as Tim Guse, came into this world free and has since become a free-spirited individual.
He began painting in March 2020. When you dive into his paintings, an emotional journey awaits you if you are willing to engage with it.
The artist, who lives in Brilon, has been able to celebrate in a short time many successes regionally, nationally, internationally. He questions the concept of movement and its naive awkwardness with a humorous approach that shows us our vulnerabilities.
Through the use of spray cans, paint pens, oil paints, pastel chalk, charcoal continues acrylic paints he creates intensely personal moments in abstraction.
Since March 2021 Tim Onday builds his canvases himself. From wood to saw and from the roll of fabric to canvas.
For this he uses linen fabric, cotton fabric, mixed fabric.
Manuel Perea del Prado
My father was a gifted master painter and I took my first steps as an artist in his studio at the age of 12.
The love of painting took hold of me and has not let me go since. I perfected watercolour and oil painting and took part in countless exhibitions throughout Andalusia. For more than 43 years I have been working with brushes and paints, but I have also been very successful in creating sculptures and cast metal objects.
I am always open to new working media and so I try the property of fire enamels on metals and precious metals, mixed with the effects of traditional paint.
Denise Kerkeling
Denise has always loved to paint a lot and grew out of her childhood shoes of "painting" 2 years ago and has let art become one of her main parts of her life.
Denise loves to express herself through her paintings and through this visualises her emotions and is able to process them better.
She wishes to be financially independent with her painting and to be able to concentrate only on her paintings and her art.
Since October 2021, Denise has been exhibiting at the TIM Gallery in Brilon and is a proud cooperation partner there.
Zauberhaftes Münsterland" has also named Denise a promising newcomer.
Joachim Schulz
Joachim Schulz, alias JoSch, lives and works in Olsberg in the Sauerland region and discovered his passion for concrete art.
JoSch came to art in a roundabout way and has been giving his own workshops since 2019. With his hands, he breathes wit and charm into his works and lends warmth and esprit to the rather cold-looking concrete.
Joachim uses beams and wood from demolished half-timbered houses, which he lovingly reconditions, to set the scene for his figures.
Joachim believes that art has come to him. He had already learned a craft as a young person and after an administrative job his hands were crying out for a change. So JoSch returned to his roots and found himself as a concrete artist.
His sculptures are spontaneous ideas that only exist once. Nothing is produced more than once, each figure is an original, like JoSch is.
Joachim's workshop is bursting with drive and inspiration and pure enthusiasm for his vocation as a concrete artist.
