About this artwork
THE LAST OF HIS KIND. fine art print eines schwarz/weiss fotos aus dem jahr 2007 das 2025 mit eiweisslasurfarben ( pinsel und airbrush ) handcoloriert wurde. die aufnahme entstand im letzten altstadtviertel von peking. folgender text ist handschriftlich eingearbeitet: "you no longer fit to the image of modern china, old man. neither you or your profession. nor the last old town district in which you live. modern china is build on industrial mass…
production. with your craft you are the last of your kind. your skills and knowledge will one day be buried with you. here in your historic neighbourhood behind the bell tower you can still find an authentic beijing lifestyle. narrow alleys lead past traditions. court yard houses. ....you can feel the traditions and long history of china. but the city leaders want to market beijing differently. as a modern metropolis. your neighbourhood has to make way for glass fronts behind which shopping malls and multi storey car parks are hidden..."

Credentials
- Works on commission
Thomas Ruhl works as a painter and photographer with a background in graphic design, photography, and journalism. He masterfully combines black-and-white photography with hand-colored elements, often complemented by literary texts, thereby bringing historical coloring techniques back into contemporary art. His style moves at the intersection of photography, painting, and literature, always aesthetic and critical at the same time. His works tell moving stories of people worldwide and invite the viewer to empathy, humanity, and sensitive reflection. Ruhl has received numerous international awards for his work. His pieces have been presented in group and solo exhibitions and at art fairs. After studying art, financial difficulties initially drove him into advertising. This was followed by the founding of the publishing house Port-Culinaire, which established itself at the top end of the market with a magazine and culinary books. Now he devotes himself exclusively to art.
