About this Artist
Raised by the military and monitored by men in white coats until he was 16. Doktor A has always scribbled monsters. "You will never make a living drawing little men" said a teacher once. They were nearly right. He has to draw, design and build little men to make a living. These dubious skills have seen him work in theatre, Tv, advertising, magazines, toy design, merchandising and the music industry. He lives under a hill in the UK. From there he monitors the world's off-kilter-culture and produces his dark twisted dreams. Character driven clashes of urban pop culture, classic children's stories and neo-Victorian industrial neverlands.The master of steampunk toys returns to the East coast of the USA, after almost 10 years, with his solo exhibition “The Future Ain’t What It Used To Be”. A retro-futuristic look back at how the present doesn’t quite deliver on the promises of the past. A tongue-in-cheek view of our own world through mechanical eyes from an alternative history.Clutter Gallery is a leading contemporary art gallery specializing in the vibrant world of designer toys and lowbrow art.
