In this episode of the Potloodcast Floortje Smit is interviewing the artist Wayne Horse. Willehad Eilers, also known as Wayne Horse, was born in Peine, Germany. He came up through the graffiti scene and graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and was a resident at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. 

Wayne Horse explores movements where control begins to slip, where bodies distort and identities dissolve, where ecstasy is about to become monstrous and where desire fades into suffering. One could say his work is always about to swerve into something else. Take his sprawling party scenes, for example, the raw and unguarded beneath the surface is revealed. People teetering between ecstasy and grotesque excess yet there is a strange, unsettling beauty in the faces about to dissolve. Even if the Titanic is sinking or the world is burning, there is still fun to be had, dancing on the edge of the volcano.
