INFOThe work by Berlin based artist Fergus Feehily moves within the field of painting. Feehily’s works impressively prove again and again how able he is to expand the definition of painting by combining simple found fragments with complex painting. In the process of artistic appropriation and the act of painting mostly small scaled, subtle and poetic compositions come about. Challenging works of modest beauty and intensity that bring together various times and stories unleash a stream of associations.
