In his iconic wall sculptures, Joly creates humorous depictions of everyday life, and the vices of the modern world are combined with touching explorations of subjects such as mental health. In “Kindness”, the artist created a smart playful way of materialising the famous quote “Build people up, don’t knock them down”. Nic uses his love for Lego in his first ever piece featuring the toy, evoking the sentiment of the artwork while mixing themes of his childhood with an adult message.

With his signature figurines in the background assembling the quote with small Lego pieces, the British artist represents the importance of kindness and of empathy. The artist was inspired to create this simplistic yet beautiful piece that reminds us that we should all strive to make the world a better place at all ages and walks of life. This piece is a 3D Wall sculpture.

Can be matched with “Addicted”, the two pieces create a perfect pair as they both carry the similar sentiment.
