Villains who twirl their moustaches are easy to be spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well-camouflaged
Michiel Ceulers layers spraypaint, oil, acrylic, staple, and wood glue onto canvas to create a visually dense and tactile work that mirrors its provocative title's themes of hidden malevolence and deceptive virtue. The artist's self-made frame further blurs the boundary between artwork and artifice, reinforcing the idea that presentation itself can be a form of manipulation. Ceulers challenges the viewer to look beyond surface appearances, questioning how easily wrongdoing is overlooked when disguised beneath a polished or benevolent exterior.
