'Silent Screams in the Valley of Uncanniness'. See more...
"Karin Janssen paints portraits which ooze vibrancy and character. Her imagery often suggests a likeness with growths and tumors, toying with the way we instinctively reject deformations. Absurd yet familiar, her works have grotesque charm." - Kids of Dada
