Fernando Bryce at Galerie Barbara Thumm, Berlin
Fernando Bryce’s series of large drawings «Freedom First» captures the intricate events of the Cold War, the emblematic leaders of the time and the struggle to claim the most disputed word and ideal, freedom.

Kindly, he accepted it and invited me to his studio, located in east London, which is an industrial area also characterized by the presence of many artists’ studios.
