Anonymous Fetish Artist

"In spite of everything, sometimes photographs are not enough. This unidentified obsessive image-maker needed to emphasize footwear. And to do that, he reached for drawing. In these remarkable images women’s shoes and boots are lovingly and closely rendered for study and enjoyment. Footwear is always the focus. Everything else is rather cursorily drawn. Figures and the mis en scène are essential for narrative content, but the hurry is always to get to the shoes.

Johnson Weree

Through the eyes of Johnson Weree all are beautiful.

As a child growing up in war-torn Liberia, Weree would salvage what discarded materials he could to illustrate his portraits. Today, in the relative comfort of Holland, a contemporary palette of unlimited dazzle has replaced the battery fluid and blood.

Weree has neither studio nor home, no sitters or patrons. Like the artist himself, his practice is itinerant. A safeguard against the outside world, it is an elaborate daily ritual which occupies its author morning to night.

Daniel Gonçalves

Daniel Gonçalves is a self-taught draughtsman and painter from Portugal (b.1977) with a deep genuine creative streak. This gift, combined with a hyperactive personality, led him from an early age to understand the world and to relate to it through his artistic expression, having participated in the last decade in multiple collective exhibitions held in Porto.

In the course of his experimentations searching for a personal style, regardless of the multiplicity of techniques, he has always revealed a particular attention for the games of shapes and colors.

Matthew Nightingale

Matthew Nightingale is an ex prisoner who for the last 12 years has been creating intricate and laboriously crafted paintings. He is entirely self-taught, each work taking between 6 -12 months to complete.

He was introduced to the Henry Boxer Gallery through the Koestler Trust, with whom he exhibited and was a prize winner at their last London exhibition. This is the first time any of his original work has been offered for sale, as the artist could previously not bear to part with them, but now feels it would be nice for his efforts to be appreciated and perhaps admired.
