Note: | Edition of 50 copies. Our copy 'No. 2'. * 'The International artist Hugo Kaagman is considered as the absolute key-figure in the Netherlands when it comes to Stencil-art. For many years his work has made an impact in the Netherlands , especially in Amsterdam and abroad. Kaagman?s work is daring and usually provides a fresh and unorthodox view on present-day topics such as the integration of immigrants, the consumer based society and so on. While raising these topics in his work, Kaagman avoids being judgemental: he intends to shows us different perspectives on these topics. Due to the sometimes controversial content of his works, Kaagman received a lot of media-attention over the past years. In March 2008 the police forced him to remove some of his canvases from his open studio in a Dutch train station, because of the possible riots it could have provoked'. |
