Brothers Florian and Michael Quistrebert have been collaborating since 2004, finding inspiration for their drawings, paintings and sculptures in various fields in contemporary popular culture or history of art items.

Proceeding  in a four-handed, two brained or two hearted method , they have elaborated several pictorial and sculptural compositions with traditional techniques, such as tempera or bronze cast, where different mythological or art history themes are hybridized, diverted and customized, branded with an innovative reflection in relation with the low culture.

Their compositions extend the synthetic logic of unlimited borrowing, using positively the wrong ways and other amalgams to create new forms and discover new colors. Their current research tends to show how New York is psychedelic.
