ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
…
Dirty Diaries is a series of work based upon personal experiences of van der Sluijs with life and death in 2010 and 2011, the dirty way death can grab someone you love, and the great joy of receiving new life. These emotions reflect the body of paintings and drawings that are presented at Ruttkowski68.
