“Able to work fairly seamlessly, their styles have combined to such an extent that they’re able to execute multiple areas in tandem, exchanging places and completing each other’s work,” one statement says. “They often execute their pieces on a monumental scale, creating huge architecturally sized spray-paint paintings on building façades. Combining multiple elements in a single composition, they layer references to the human and animal worlds to create complex creatures and fantastic scenarios. With positivity, humor and a touch of the romantic, their work is arresting and epic.”

The two met at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam in the mid-2000s. See some example of their mural works below.

"Most of my work centers around an interest in psychology, philosophy and how we process ideas," the artist explained in an email to Hi-Fructose. "I'm also interested in pop culture, the modern existence, and what I see as the poetry of life. I alter my approach depending on how I'm engaging ideas."
