In his work the human incapacity is embrased without apparent opinion. To the viewer it is obvious that in the archetypical world of Overweel frivolity prevails. However, Overweel finds the transformation of his subjects into extremes and refers with great conviction to the Nazi era, the extravagant side of gay culture and the absurdity of our thriving society. This mounts into a painfully mundane perspective.

Martyn F. Overweel (NL, 1971) loves to evoke a sense of shame with his situational sketches. What can be exposed will be exposed.
