Town Squares (109)About the artist
Victor Bengtsson (b. 1997 in Copenhagen, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Scientific methods plays a great part of Bengtsson’s artistic practice as the artists delves into posthumanist medical theory, particularly focusing on the future of hybrid human and nonhuman bodies. His paintings capture the grotesque and the magical as states of metamorphosis, where all bodies are in the act of becoming. Bengtsson’s works are a labyrinthine simulacrum — a maze of illusions filled with heavy archetypes and figures that exude meaning, even as the rationale for their interconnectedness has fallen apart. The artist intends for his paintings to become surreal future relics, artifacts that claim to describe known phenomena but exist in a context that feels otherworldly or out of time.
