  • Biography
  • Renowned for his striking monochromatic works and intricate geometric compositions, Beck’s art explores the unseen frameworks that influence how we perceive the world around us.

    In 2019, Beck made the leap into fine art, a transition that allowed him to fully embrace oil painting and lithography, crafting bold, abstract pieces that combine sharp, angular forms with intentionally balanced negative space. Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian minimalism and architectural aesthetics, his work conveys a timeless and contemplative quality.

     

    What sets Beck apart is his remarkable ability to manipulate light and shadow, using them to sculpt his geometric forms. Through his masterful use of negative space, his compositions seem to emerge and dissolve as light interacts with the canvas. This delicate interplay between presence and absence invites viewers to deeply engage with his art, uncovering new layers of meaning with every encounter.

     

    Beck’s creative journey often begins with introspection. Long walks through various environments inspire him, as he observes the structures and spaces that shape our daily lives. His art strikes a balance between precision and emotion, encouraging viewers to pause, reflect, and consider the unseen forces that shape their experiences.

     

    “Invisible structures have always fascinated me,” Beck explains. “Whether found in architecture, social systems, or the way light moves through a space, these hidden frameworks shape how we see and feel. My work aims to bring these ideas to life, revealing the beauty in what often goes unnoticed.”

    Beck’s work has been widely exhibited across Europe, with solo shows in cities such as Odense, Berlin, and Barcelona, and has been featured at the Kunstbygningen Vrå Museum. His upcoming exhibition at RHODES offers a rare opportunity to engage with his distinctive and thought-provoking artistic vision.

     

    Invisible Structures will be on display at RHODES 7th February - 1st March 2025, with a Private View with the artist held on Thursday 6th February, 6-8pm.

    Biography

    Carsten Beck, a Danish artist and designer, transitioned to oil painting and lithography in 2019, quickly gaining international acclaim. His work features angular, geometric forms and asymmetrical perspectives inspired by Scandinavian minimalism and mid-century design. Using monochrome oil paints, Beck creates optical illusion-like compositions that balance sharp forms with negative space.

     

    His monumental canvases combine geometric precision with minimalist design, blending fine art with meticulous craftsmanship. Beck’s reflective process involves long walks, which inspire his timeless, dimensional works that captivate the human eye. He has held solo exhibitions in cities like Odense, Copenhagen, and Berlin, and participated in group shows, including the Winter Group exhibition at Kunstbygningen Vraa Museum.
