Dutch artist Otto Egberts started his career in the 1980’s. His subject is the individual that stands alone in an enstranged sub-realism expressed through painting, drawing and installations. In 2012 he started an in Dutch written blog criticizing various elites in society and predicting the downfall of the Occident.
In “Verspreide Koppen” each page on the right depicts a head dramatically tormented by strange objects and geometrical forms.

Screen printed text on fabric:
“Art is shit.
Art galleries are toilets.
Curators are toilet attenders.
Artists are bullshitters.”

This is a tote bag with a syllogistic quote from the artist: ‘Art is shit. Art galleries are toilets. Curators are toilet attendants. Artists are bullshitters.’ Apparently in the eyes of Martin Creed galleries show shit and curators are therefore toilet attendants, while artists produce shit. He says: ‘The more I work, the more I think I don’t know what I am doing. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. It is like sweat or shit. It comes out as I go along …’.
