Artists Mattijs Bredewold (born in the Netherlands in 1982) and Ulrik Holme Kristensen (Denmark, 1976) form the duo Bredewold and Kristensen. They have recognised in each other an interest in the creation of art, particularly sculpture, for the public space. Together, they make over-life-sized wooden sculptures painted in jaunty colours, destined for public areas. These sculptures are often groups of figures, which the artists are inspired to produce by figures and situations that occur in daily life in public spaces, such as hooligans, beachgoers or prostitutes. Thanks to the childlike imagery applied to these sculptures, which can be described as a fusion of quasi-robotic figures with the universally-known Lego models, their works of art strike us first and foremost as a playful, innocent representation of reality. Yet the end result is a confrontation, with a nod to reality, due to the dash of sarcastic humour they inject.
