Artwork Description

Mixed Media on wood, ready to hang.

Signed on the back.

"...Here he (Kruithof) has taken pop culture icons of rock, punk and jazz and line-drawn them in oilstick, smoking away with cigarettes as prop (as was ‘cool’, somewhat socially acceptable and everywhere on album covers and promo fotos of the time). Mingus, Lou Reed, Nina Hagen, Beefheart, Blondie, Zappa, Grace Jones and others appear with text and recontextual juxtapositions. 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
