Twins Nikolai and Simon Haas (b.1984) create irreverent sculptures that explore themes related to nature, fantasy, and sexuality. ​ Their biomorphic works defy categorization, most often occupying the interstitial space between fine art and functional objects. ​ Originally from Austin, Texas the brothers began collaborating in 2010 each bringing their respective passions and distinct specialties together to create works that are ‘bigger than what each would have made on his own’. ​ Utilizing materials such as marble, bronze, ceramics, beads, and more, the brothers first came to prominence with their functional design in furniture and home decor, and have since expanded their practice into the realm of architecture, fine art, and the digital space. ​ The Haas Brothers have had numerous solo exhibitions in the United States and abroad, including Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, NY (2019); the Bass Museum of Art in Miami, FL (2018); Lora Reynolds Gallery, Austin, TX (2017 and 2016); Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago, IL (2017); and Galerie Gmurzynska, Zurich, Switzerland (2013). Their work was included in the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, NY and at the San Jose Museum of Art in San Jose, CA. Their work may be found in the permanent collections of the RISD Museum, Providence, RI, the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York, NY, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, and LACMA, Los Angeles, CA.
