Skull

from 'Ghost Of A Flea' (detail) an installation of oil paintings on found pieces of glass, and a light, dimensions variable, 2007 (private collection, London)

"The near side of the glass is clean and shiny; the far side is daubed with a layer of black oil paint. Using a range of different tissue papers and other improvised tools, Krut has drawn into this layer by removing paint from the surface. Light is then allowed through the glass, producing a faint image projected onto the wall behind. An unlikely cast of characters has been scratched, dabbed and rubbed out of a greasy black field; together, they constitute the absurd, debased fallout from a kind of Cambrian Explosion of the imagination. Crude and fabulous, fragile and gauche, sullied and luminous: the series involves an array of reversals and inversions."
