“De Freston’s paintings are confirmation that contemporary art is still able to offer a new and engaging reflection on themes that have fascinated artists for centuries.”

Sir Nicholas Serota, March 2011

Obsessed by images of humanity on the very edge of disintegration, Tom de Freston is audacious enough to convey our most haunted fears about a world struggling for survival in the twenty-first century.

Richard Cork, August 2011

The Horror House Band

For three nights Breese Little had the privilege to present the Horror House Band, a Vaudevillian cabaret troupe from London.  They sing unholy songs of misery, mayhem and madness. They tell gruesome tales of death, destruction and doom. Compared to Waits, Brecht and The Tiger Lillies, The Horror House Band combine comedy, music and cabaret, to create a delightfully ghastly world of entertainment. They were a perfect accompaniment to Tom de Freston’s painting.
