Claas Reiss Features Tenki Hiramatsu at Newly Opened Gallery

Claas Reiss is a recent addition to the London gallery scene and his third exhibition is Good Con Man by young Japanese painter Tenki Hiramatsu, who lives and works in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Hiramatsu works intuitively in an abstract manner, although figures reveal themselves sporadically during the process.

These cartoon-like characters are weird, humorous, and surprisingly emotive, but it's the combination of colours and transparent layers that proves to be most absorbing.
