“Ansel Krut employs satire, scatological humour and occasionally anger in his small drawings made with brush and ink on prepared paper… The hybrid figures, part human, part animal, part object, perform cruel, ridiculous and crazy antics within the ‘stage’ of the prepared area of each sheet, sometimes overrunning them and setting up a dialogue with the adjacent sheet when the drawings are pinned on gallery walls in closely hung sequences. These juxtapositions are never fixed, so that the interactions are capable of infinite changes… In spite of their grotesque fluency, in a Goya-esque space between absurdity and moral commentary, each drawing is the subject of the closest critical attention and processes of editing”  Deanna Petherbridge, The Primacy of Drawing, Yale University Press, 2010
