Small round figures

"With the little round figures, Keld Moseholm has not just found an expressive form, but created a unique universe for himself. A universe that at once fascinates with its diversity and richness of imagination and at the same time functions as a mirror for the world we live in on a daily basis, a mirror that has the special property of drawing attention to basic features of our existence.”

From retired professor at SDU Niels Thomassen's foreword to the catalogue for the exhibition "Man, Substance, Challenge", Holstebro Art Association 2009

"In contrast to his characters' lack of sense of balance, the artist himself balances supremely on the narrow line between seriousness and humour that seems disarming. In all their anonymity, Moseholm's round figures do not exhibit Mr. and Mrs. Smith, but reveal us in all our limitations. And that is perhaps why he makes us wish that, just once, things will end well for the little people. "

Art historian and theologian Lisbeth Smedegaard Andersen from the section "The cheerful sage" in "Livsværker (Life works)".

"Whoever has seen Keld Moseholm's works once, remembers them for the rest of his life. You stood bent over a world you knew - you got stabbed in the heart and yet you smiled. Just like when Hans Christian Andersen wrote about the Gardener and the Lord - and the story stuck and their tale unfolded.

Hans Christian Andersen ends his bitter satire by saying: "Now you have heard the story - think about it. "This is just how it is with the stories Keld Moseholm's little bronze figures tell. - Hopefully, as many as possible will experience them. And perhaps think about them.”
