Biografia:

Baldrick Buckle is a British-born artist and sculptor. He was born in 1972 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Buckle owns an apartment and studio complex in the Bijlmer district of Amsterdam but has spent almost all of the last decade in America, Australia, Japan and Singapore. His work is often socially or politically motivated, and captures an ironic view and disillusionment with hegemonic culture systems and globalisation. Buckle uses common objects and images to illustrate his point, making his work deliberately accessible. He has exhibited in several shows, including Bread & Work! (Oude Kerk, Amsterdam, January 2007) and Pieces (Europlaza, Pakhuis De Zwijger, Amsterdam, May 2007). He was awarded first prize at the Berlage Fund in July 2007. Buckle is also known for his sand sculptures and his participation in the RCA Secret exhibition in London.
