I saw this guy's stuff at James Cohan gallery earlier in the year when it was being shown at the same time as Xu Zhen's Shanghai Supermarket. It was pretty intense stuff. His people range from life-sized to super-sized and are all made of different types of foam, foam cores, and foam glues. And checkin' out James Cohan's website says that it's going to be the year of Folkert de Jong, what with two consecutive shows.
But anyway, check out this sweet little video that I scooped up off of Monster Children. It gives a nice cross-section of his work. And like Zawada on MC says, his accent is hilariously addictive!
