Bancho Death Club

Secret Fresh was born from a passion for collecting. What was once a childhood pastime had become a hub for mining new talent in the cross pollinating fields of graffiti, comics, film, animation, music, architecture, fine art and design. This commitment has grown to facilitate and showcase further this thriving field through its gallery. Located in Ronac Art Center, the primary hub for contemporary street fashio n, design and lifestyle, and a landmark of innovative architecture, Secret Fresh likewise, is a pioneer in engaging local and foreign artists, both emerging and established ones, for collaborations on limited edition art toys and prints, coming up with truly contemporary pieces that are an alchemical mix of art and design, craft and commodity, timelessness and currency. This engagement extends to having monthly exhibits of artists not limited to the traditional media, but to those who are daring to venture into exploring new forms that spark fresh dialogue and perspectives on the contemporary urban experience. This endeavor would hopefully herald a new era of appreciating art beyond its conventional boundaries. Klav, the moniker of Kevin Derken, is a distinguished artist and toy customizer based in Connecticut, USA. Renowned for his unique approach to customizing designer toys, Klav integrates weathered, rust-like finishes and intricate paint schemes into his creations. His artistic style is deeply influenced by 1980s Japanese science fiction modeling techniques, which he learned during his early modeling experiences.   As the sole member of the Creeping Death Robot Club, Klav has developed a reputation for his exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. His work often features custom figures with meticulously applied paintwork, reflecting a deep appreciation for Japanese sci-fi aesthetics.
