Description:
‘(…) Humour again. Lots of humour. Not at all naive paintings, but very good paintings. 'Alfred Bucket' is a great invention and the paintings are so convincing. Everything is in place in these paintings. The performance is O.K., the imagination is crazy. The work feels real and all the paintings have a kind of charm, in a positive sense. Aspects of humour and irony. The paintings feel just the right size, not overstated or understated. The work seems pleasantly unselfconscious, not about art-fashion, fad-fashion, it's free of these considerations.’
