  • Danish artist Carsten Beck depicts angular, geometric forms and twisting asymmetrical perspectives.

    Carsten Beck is a Danish artist and designer that originally worked in the fields of graphic design, illustration, and photography. When he began to experiment with translating his graphic sketches into oil on canvas and lithography in 2019, he became an overnight success in the international art world.

     

    Beck depicts angular, geometric forms and twisting asymmetrical perspectives. Using oil paint to create his architectural language, he draws inspiration from Scandinavian minimalist and mid-century design to dominate sharp forms whilst still creating areas of negative space. Almost exclusively working in monochrome, the contrasting shapes work to subvert and affect the spaces they inhabit almost as optical illusions.

     

    The monumental nature of Beck’s canvases is a mix of geometric perspectives of shapes with a mathematician’s attention to detail and Scandinavian minimalist design. This allows him to create work that is both of fine art and of staggering precision. The incredibly intentional quality of Beck’s work is reflective and carries power within in it that rises above the superficial to produce work that is harmonious in its careful balance of forms.

    Beck’s non-figurative works are processed through long walks and contemplation. Ideas are born in the act of walking, discovering new routes, angles, and perceptions of the world around him. There is something in the expression of Carsten Beck’s works that transcends time. Infinitely timeless, the dimensional aspects of his works will remain satisfying to the human eye for years to come.

     

    Beck has exhibited in solo shows in Odense, Copenhagen, Italy, Berlin, Barcelona, and many others, as well as in group shows such as the Winter Group exhibition at the Kunstbygningen Vraa Museum.
