Fringe

Fringe showcases his artistic prowess through captivating paintings on canvas and intricately crafted figurative sculptures in bronze, ceramic and stone. His journey as an artist is a fusion of prolific creativity and well-timed solo exhibitions that have propelled his distinctive series to the forefront of the art world.

The world has witnessed the resounding success of major solo exhibitions by Fringe, all of which saw a complete sell-out. Born in the late 70s, Fringe made a transition from a background in the corporate sector to the illustrious realm of fine art. This shift allowed him to seamlessly blend branding symbols with thought-provoking imagery, resulting in multimedia creations and sculptures that deeply resonate with a diverse audience.

What defines Fringe's trajectory is his unceasing evolution. Each of his exhibitions stands as a testament to his growth as an artist, with every showcase offering a unique and unprecedented experience. His artistic discipline spans a wide range, encompassing the application of oils on canvas, the harmonious fusion of mixed media, and the creation of striking sculptures.
