Among other names, the other highlights of the show include Ryan Heshka with his familiar, vintage feeling works, Brendan Monroe, who painted two abstract portraits for the event, or Marco Wagner (seen ab0ve) with his twisted mixed media portraits.

This show is a tradition for the gallery, celebrating a year of their efforts to bring top shelf lowbrow artists to Germany, as well as introducing their own talents to the world. It started back from the days when lowbrow was just an underground art movement in the US, while now these type of works are present at most mainstream art fairs and parts of many reputable art collection. While the situation is a bit different on the old continent still, this show is Feinkunst Krueger’s effort to get this kind of art to a same level of appreciation in Europe. The show will be on view until until the 21st of December, so make sure you visit it if you’re in the area, or get in touch with the gallery if you’re interested in any of the works.
