Description:
‘The New Kids on the Block. Yes, that's exactly what they feel like. Humour again, experimenting, but in an intelligent way. Experimenting with painting, with various geometrical or handmade marks, and with language also. I like the fact that their signature appears. I mean, what does Ramsay Bird mean on the painting? It's ridiculous. Another person? Serious humour and does Ramsay Bird really exist?
