    THEIS WENDT

    Theis-Wendt-portrait-PARIS-B

    Applying a broad range of materials – both the organic and the synthetic – Wendt’s creative process combines sculpture, installation and post-photography into illusionary works that demand viewers’ careful examination. Here, materials seem to mimic others, and faint impressions of nature are conjured by digital means. As with any image, looked upon with any first glance, things are rarely as they appear.

    Born in 1981 in Copenhagen, Theis Wendt graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Wendt’s works have been the subject of numerous exhibitions, including at the San Diego Art Institute in San Diego; the Brandts Sculpture Triennial in Odense; and the Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles.
