Artistry
Artistry
Reinhoud's work has been described as "grotesque" and evocative of Halloween, and in a style to that of Hieronymus Bosch and Brueghel. Reinhoud's sculpture, Against One's Will, once featured at Antwerp's sculpture garden, was described as a "grotesquely grimacing dwarf seemingly formed in contours of saggy drapery". Reinhoud's sculptures were created as one-offs.
