Riflemaker, 79 Beak Street, London, W1F 9SU

Wolfe von Lenkiewicz is a British-born artist of German-Polish-Jewish descent whose paintings use imagery from classical art as well as ideas from contemporary life. Born into a dynasty of painters, his great-grandfather was Baron von Schlossberg, court painter to King Ludwig II of Bavaria, his father was the British painter Robert Lenkiewicz. Wolfe von Lenkiewicz is known for his immaculately rendered (re)mixing of familiar modes and idioms from art history, creating ambiguous compositions which question accepted critical thought and ideas. His work features in numerous international collections. Image credits: 'DRINK ME' by Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, oil on canvas 210 x 160cm (2013)
