The Kid (artist)

THE KID is a contemporary artist who questions social determinism and the frontier between innocence and corruption in modern societies. Half Dutch and half Brazilian, The Kid lives and works both in Paris and Amsterdam where he has, respectively, his painting and sculpture studios.

The Kid's socially-committed and thought-provoking art works include wall-size blue Bic ballpoint pen drawings, charcoal drawings, and oil paintings, as well as controversial hand-made hyper-realistic lifesize silicon sculptures and installations. In recent years, The Kid's works have been exhibited at the Louvre and Le Grand Palais and during solo and group shows at ALB Anouk Le Bourdiec Gallery in Paris, France.

Through the social and political dimensions of his subjects and due to an influential collectors' international audience, The Kid has also become a committed supporter of the leading International non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch, in particular for its fight against social discrimination and juvenile justice, two repeating themes of The Kid's art work. Beyond Paris, he has also lived and worked in New York, London, and Milan.
