Benji and Jack started Graham + Kändler as two colleagues turned best friends with the same curiosity to test the limits of one simple question: What is possible for artists to achieve beyond the white walls of a gallery space?
We recognise that an artists practice can exist beyond four walls and brands are always seeking an injection of originality beyond their line of sight. We solve both those problems.
We created Graham + Kändler to build collaborations that feel human, innovative and culturally relevant. For us, it’s personal, we’ve committed our careers to helping artists innovate and evolve, whilst delivering brands projects that are greater than the sum of their parts.
Graham + Kändler sits at the distinct intersection of Art, Culture & Commerce.
