Kristian von Hornsleth. Emaljeret terracotta fad. Ø 40 cm. Signeret og dateret på forsiden R.K.S.B. Hornsleth 2013. Signeret på bagsiden Albisola, Casa dell' arte. Kunsthistoriker Wolf-Günter Thiel om Hornsleth: Hornsleth?s works, whatever medium, are countercultural in every sense of the term, at once toying with, exploiting and criticizing popular culture through their defiant attitude to social conformity. Driven by the symbolic representation of his own name, Hornsleth?s work succeeds in engendering its own momentum whilst simultaneously questioning the nature of publicity and celebrity culture at large. Often described as a cross between Friedrich Nietzsche, Andy Warhol and Dr. House, one can always expect a certain playful or egotistical madness in Hornsleth?s work, refreshing and invigorating in its capacity to shock.
