Michael Landy belongs to the Young British Artists. Landy first received international acclaim with his work Breakdown (2001), for which he destroyed all his possessions with a self-made machine. His early work is characterized by a critical attitude towards consumerist society, while his later work is more personal. In 2004 Landy presented Semi-Detached at the Tate Britain. The work was a replica of his paternal house and its decay symbolized his father, who was chained to the house because of an accident.
The exhibition In Your Face consists of a new series of drawings by Landy and is on show until October 18 at the Gallery Paul Andriesse from Tuesday-Friday 11:00-18:00, on Saturdays from 14:00-18:00 and every first Sunday of the month 14:00-17:00.
