“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.

The work often is rendered in oils, yet the artist also mixes in acrylics and watercolor.
