JOOST KLEIN is a bold and defiant artwork that captures a pivotal moment in contemporary music history. Created on the very day Joost Klein was disqualified from the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, this piece serves as an artistic reaction to the controversial decision made by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

The artwork depicts Joost Klein in a crouching position, wearing his signature blue suit—a recognizable symbol of his unique persona and stage presence. His hands are raised upward, forming an unmistakable gesture of defiance: both middle fingers extended in protest. Engraved on these fingers are the letters EBU and ESC, directly referencing the organizations responsible for his disqualification. This striking detail underscores the tension between artistic expression and institutional authority.

Beyond its immediate context, JOOST KLEIN embodies a deeper conversation about artistic freedom, censorship, and the power dynamics within the entertainment industry. The piece conveys a raw mix of frustration, resistance, and resilience, inviting the viewer to reflect on the broader implications of Klein’s exclusion from Eurovision. The work is not just a reaction; it is a statement—one that challenges the limits of self-expression in mainstream media and questions the structures that govern creative voices.

With its intense emotional charge and unmistakable symbolism, JOOST KLEIN stands as a visual representation of rebellion and artistic integrity in the face of institutional control.

The artwork DON'T TWEET THE DOORBELL plays with online discourse, particularly on platforms like Twitter/X. The wooden birdhouse has nailed-up doors, symbolizing blocked dialogue, while the attic window is open, inviting observation or anonymous opinions.

The text BIRD ISN'T AT HOME SO DON'T TWEET THE DOORBELL emphasizes that the 'bird' (person or viewpoint) is unavailable to respond, making any attempt to break in pointless. The piece reflects on how social media often leads to shallow interactions without real connection.

The artwork asks the viewer whether the house is a safe haven or a prison of opinions.

PALE PINK DOT is a playful and reflective reinterpretation of the famous "Pale Blue Dot" photo of Earth. The painting features a small, pink dot that, upon closer inspection, turns out to be a stylized penis. This simple, humorous element highlights the relative smallness of humanity in the vastness of the universe.

This series is a collaboration between Sjaak & Oko and Frank Willems, created for the exhibition at Galerie Waterbolk (Utrecht, 2023). Sjaak & Oko contributed their tiled wall objects, to which Frank Willems responded with a boxing glove labeled LEFT HANDED BOXING GLOVE and an eye with the text I GOT PUNCHED BY A LEFT HANDED BOXING GLOVE ON MY RIGHT EYE. IT'S NOT THAT BAD. NOW I SEE A BIT BETTER WITH MY LEFT EYE. The works reflect on societal polarization between left and right, but if you just share a drink together, you’ll see we’re not so different after all.

This artwork playfully and ironically explores the idea of discretion and secrecy. At the center stands a parrot – a bird known precisely for repeating everything it hears. Surrounding it is the bold statement: "I’M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THAT SHIT."

The humor lies in the contradiction between the message and the nature of the parrot itself. While it claims not to repeat anything, that is exactly what it does best. This piece makes the viewer reflect on trust and communication: those who claim to be discreet aren’t always so.

With a sharp nod to gossip culture and the way information spreads, this artwork blends humor with a subtle commentary on social dynamics.

I’M NOT GOING TO REPEAT THAT SHIT

This artwork humorously plays with the concept of trust and secrecy. A vibrant parrot takes center stage, surrounded by the words: “TELL ME YOUR SECRETS AND I WILL TELL YOU MINE.” At first glance, this appears to be an invitation to an intimate exchange, as if the bird were a trustworthy confidant. But the joke lies in the nature of the parrot itself – everything it hears, it will repeat without hesitation.

In doing so, the artwork playfully exposes the irony of secrets. What we share in confidence can easily become public knowledge. The parrot serves as a symbol of gossip, social dynamics, and the sometimes unintended consequences of what we reveal.

In this small piece, the frame is literally drawn within the frame, enclosing a cut-out space and the text: “I WOULD LOVE TO FRAME YOUR PRETTY FACE BUT I HAVEN’T MET YOU YET.” The work blends playfulness with a hint of longing, inviting the viewer to imagine who might fill the empty space. A subtle yet striking reflection on presence, absence, and the moment before connection.

The work exposes the absurdity of taboos while celebrating the tension between sexuality and art.
