Vyner Street's Fred [London] Ltd shows the work of Jakob Roepke, a master of collage who has been refining his skills since the '90s, producing over 700 pieces of work along the way. Delicately painted in gouache on cardboard, Roepke's miniatures depict scenes that hint at surreal mythologies and cataclysmic events; a giant bird claws at a fleeing man in one, while boulders orbit a seated figure in another. Notably small in size (they measure 12 x 10 cm), the collages can be viewed individually, but the recurring images hint at an interconnected narrative. Look out especially for the retro wallpaper painted with minute attention to detail, telling its own story of domestic décor.
