The British artist Paul Harbutt is a multidisciplinary contemporary artist, sometimes combining painting, sculpture and mixed media in one work. As a draughtsman, Harbutt has a confident and loose line and chooses subjects that are universal yet personal. PAUL HARBUTT | ODYSSEY is the twentieth temporary exhibition organised by Museum De Reede since its inception in 2017. The exhibition at Museum De Reede opens with an image of a small man bent under a pile of old-fashioned suitcases. Tied together by a thick rope, Diaspora, 2023 is an apt image for this time of global unrest and forced migrations due to conflict, poverty and global warming.
