ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"...The street-worn surfaces, with their hints of original advertising or instructional typography, or commercial images and signs, lend a Pop Art loutishness to the pieces. Which is perfect for a section of the show that Kruithof refers to as the ‘Smoking Props’ series. Here he has taken pop culture icons of rock, punk and jazz and line-drawn them ... 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 ... lends them an immediacy and a vibrancy that jumps at you." John Hardaker, 2022
