Life and work

In 2012, they dropped out of their respective studies at the University of Applied Sciences and the University of Technology and quit their jobs to fulfill their dream of becoming artists.[2] They spend the next years experimenting with different techniques and media.[3]

What turned out to be a process of years, growing through different styles and media, they eventually discovered their signature style; merging the rawness and honesty of stencil art as a technique with the punch of pop, subtlety, and profoundness of minimalism.[4]

Aesthetically ,the Tinker Brothers’ work is bold and accessible.[2] They use bold, powerful yet simple imagery in their work[5][6] to communicate confronting and controversial messages[7] about love, the troubles of this world, beauty, and truth.[3][7][8]

The Tinker Brothers are experiencing fast success in the art world, having held 4 solo exhibitions in the Netherlands in 2017 alone. They have presented their work at a number of Art Fairs, including First Art Fair in Amsterdam and the Affordable Art Fair in New York.[2]
