ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"... favourite Kruithof themes ... inner city living and its stresses and strains, the humanity that pisses and grafittis on the inhumane walls, the humour that can be found among the fag-ends and real estate bastardry - and there is a wealth of humour here: take the time to read the texts he scribbles, scratches and even elegantly letters over many of his works. Yes, some bitterness here and there, but overwritten with sardonic, witty and often downright hilarious jokes..." John Hardaker, 2022
