Surrealist, humoristic, humble art: Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys at Mukha, Gent. Brilliant!
Poor materials are assembled into minimal sculptures: skinny characters are made of what looks like welded trestle supports from the DIY store and found objets from charity shops, dodgey ceramics receive huge importance and are displayed on high plinthes, pencil drawings of trams and passengers are displayed about the space in glassless frames. In a corner, their is a small painting show: loud coloured paintings are displayed on pannels, it rather looks like an evening class exhibition, and round the corner a painter wearing a beret stands composing a wild picture.
There are also videos where the characters become protagonists and a computerised voice tells their story. The stories are rather sad, the painter has to deal with his criticising partner who wants him to do video art instead of painting and the siamese ladies (with chicken feet) ask impossible riddles.
