☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺ Stefan Gross creates work that plays on the ewwwwwww factor which resides within us (if it's not inside you, you're only lying to yourself). His work is all rather bodily with goopy amounts of polymer and oil in brightly chosen colours that are plopped on recognizable objects for visual reference....& then perhaps covered in clumps of hair to further the bleghhhhh vibe. Saying so, that ick feeling felt from viewing his work just kind of makes you remember being a kid. Playing in mud. Tracking said mud into the house. Rubbing your muddy hands and feet all over your mum's fancy coat. Petting the dog with your grubby muddy paws. Getting spanked. Playful & sinister all at once. Nothing at all serious, just lighthearted and deliciously (queasily) shiny. http://www.stefangross.nl/index.html ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
