Bent

Montréal, Quebec, Canada •
Artist (Painting, Drawing) •
Born 1975 •
To boo the boredom on the edges of the voids

Multidisciplinary artist, BENT was born in 1975 in the southwest of Montreal. Self-taught, his influences are as broad as a palette with 1000 colors at a time. From Pollock to Basquiat, via Asger Jorn, Jacqueline de Jong, Jeppesen Victor-Martin or even Gil Joseph Wolman, the false-painter he is trying somehow to develop visual reflections from a desire to turn life upside down. Since 2004, he has had a little more than ten solo exhibitions to his credit. He also participated in 7 collective exhibitions.

He lazily runs after his brushes which he lugs from Montreal to Zurich and under the fine misty rain of Copenhagen, as well as under the temperature, as changeable as his moods, of Iceland.
