ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"...I watched on Instagram daily as these pieces would go from a screwed-together ‘canvas’ of found bed slats, to a pink surface, to a lurid depiction of miasmic signs and figures, to a masterpiece of punk’n’roll energy. (More than once I caught myself laughing out loud at the audacity and slapstick humour of the concluding visual punchline). The paintings are loosely based on old photos but Kruithof’s brash handling of the oilstick (a fave of Basquiat) lends them an immediacy and a vibrancy that jumps at you." John Hardaker, 2022
