About The Artist

Resume 2019 Kenth Bender (1947) - Falköping, Sweden. He had a break between 1992-2010. Statement How much can one learn about an artist by looking at his work? A review of painter Bender´s latest pieces reveals a great deal about the artist´s life and energy-charged passion in his painting. Scenes conveys a sense of peace, while at the same time, Bender´s bold use of color and strong compositional elements convey the intense beauty the artist sees in the world around him, and what`s going on inside. His paintings invite the viewer on a journey behind the surface, behind the image surface, to explore a world that maybe lies far from the everyday life. Or as a gallerist expressed: "there rests an elegance of your paintings". 2015 Exhibitions: Sweden, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and USA Designated as one of ATIM'S TOP 60 MASTERS OF CONTEMPORARY ART 2015, by Art Tour International Magazine Award ATIM'S MASTERS AWARDS 2015 2010- 2016 Studied Painting at Virtual Art Academy 2003-06 Studied Special Education, University of Gothenburg, Sweden 1975-78 Studied Classic Guitar in Sweden Membership 2015, CCA - Creativity Coaching Association 2015, Vivid Arts Network© - US/Italy 2015, Salon International Galerie d´l Eglise de la Madeleine, Paris 2015 - 2016 Swedish Association for Art 2010- BUS - Visual Arts Copyright Society in Sweden 1989-92, 2010 - 2015 The Swedish Artist Society – SK Published 2015, No 3, The visual artist, The art magazine by SK - Swedish Artist Society 2015, The US/Italian art magazine: Art Tour International Magazine, Summer Issue 2015, article published in 4 papers 2015, article published in 3 papers 2014, International Contemporary Master, ICM Volume IX, World Wide Artbooks 2014, article published in 3 papers 2013, The visual artist, The art magazine by SK - Swedish Artist Society 2013, The painting: Migration, Tolerance - Intolerance, featured in TV, Open Channel, Gothenburg Sweden, april 1:st, 2:nd and 3:rd. 2012, The Visual Artist, The Art Magazine by SK - The Swedish Artist Society 1989-91 selected papers.
