Description
The human figures of Swiss artist Léopold Rabus (born 1977) are often gruesome, awkward or crazy, but always blackly humorous, in the vein of Jonathan Meese and Paul McCarthy. Against the backdrop of a realistically rendered woodland scene-toadstools, a deserted shed or wooden house in the forest-he reconfigures and caricatures people from his immediate surroundings in Neuchâtel.
