Goya Curtain presents ‘The Giants’, an exhibition by Melbourne based artist Ronnie van Hout.

Adventuring into the absurdity of life, Ronnie van Hout’s art explores the uncanniness of the self and how ordinary and weird it can be. His work encompasses sculpture, public artworks and video and draws on multiple sources, such as self-portraiture, art history, pop culture, cinema, and family life.

Originally inspired by Francisco Goya's 'The Colossus', 'The Giants' consists of two figurative sculptures of 'uncanny children' that appear to evoke something monstrous lurking in the depths of the subconscious. The sculptures are accompanied by a new video work showing van Hout’s teenage child Vi smashing a printer using a large tree limb as a club.
