Stephen Kent
Stephen Kent (USA, 1985) lives and works in Berlin. He works around ideas of resolution and image production through the decorative gesture and the exploration of cultural codes embedded in everyday objects. In his ceramics, paintings and mosaics the artist demonstrates his engagement with psychedelic culture and comparative mythology. He explores cultural codes that can be found embedded in everyday objects and scenarios. With a medium-reflexive approach, he uses a process-oriented language to humorously investigate the stuff our world is made of. It remains a staged clash of ancient and digital pixels, an ironic montage of high and mass culture with an inquisitive wink.
Kent received a Master of Fine Arts at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Detroit, and his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Pennsylvania State University. He has recently exhibited with Elephant Kunsthall in Norway, Good Weather Gallery in the U.S., LVL 3 in Chicago, Haverkampf Leistenschneider Galerie in Berlin, Szydlowski Galeria in Warsaw, and Die Brücke Museum, Berlin. His mosaic works have been written about in publications such as Der Tagespiegel and the Chicago Tribune.Stephen Kent (USA, 1985) lives and works in Berlin.
