The Kid (artist)

His neo-pop artwork hijack a variety of social, political, and traditional imagery of the past and present, with rebellious, religious, fantastical, and in some ways offensive undertones.

[1][2][3][4][5] He confronts the audience with, among other notions, social determinism and the thin frontier between innocence and corruption within his young generation in modern societies.

The Kid lives and works in Paris, France where he has his main studio for drawings and paintings and in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for sculptures.

When asked ″although your characters are caught in a very shady moment, there is something beautiful and poetic in the way they are represented, tell us more about this duality″, The Kid answered ″I’ve always been attracted by this line in The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde: ″behind every exquisite thing lies something tragic″, I think this is pretty much what all of my works have in common.

And he added ″I want to question the audience about social determinism, the thin frontier between innocence and corruption, the equality of chances, or the fading line between right and wrong in our modern societies.″[6]
