Stockholm syndrome Sculpture

Comforting Series – Limited Edition #7/15

“Stockholm Syndrome”

Handcrafted in smooth epoxy resin and densely filled with real coffee beans—richly visible at the base, adding an earthy, grounded intensity to this chimpanzee who's clearly been up to no good.

Matte black spraypaint coats the entire figure in a stealthy, noir-like finish—evoking the shadows of a getaway car or a midnight heist. At his feet lie scattered gold bars (the spoils of the score), a small gun casually discarded, and—most intriguingly—an opening briefcase brimming with "surprises" (because every successful job needs a little mystery and flair). Inspired by the legendary Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson and the 1973 Norrmalmstorg siege that gave the world the term "Stockholm Syndrome," this chimp embodies the twisted bond between captor and captive: charm, danger, unexpected loyalty, and that strange pull that makes the outlaw oddly endearing.

It's cheeky criminal folklore reimagined in art—part heist trophy, part psychological wink, part caffeine-fueled anti-hero. The opening briefcase adds a tactile, interactive element: open it up and let the surprises (and the story) unfold.

More than a sculpture, “Stockholm Syndrome” is a conversation starter: a small, bold reminder that human connections can form in the unlikeliest (and most thrilling) places.
