Hannes Bend

I have been creating and exhibiting internationally at museums and galleries since 2004.
I studied painting and drawing at the Kunsthochschule Berlin under Professor Katharina Grosse, Werner Liebmann and Hanns Schimansky until 2007.
I have been living in Berlin since 2000 and Brooklyn, ny since 2013.
My painting series «CircUlaR» is inspired by the seemingly infinity and impermanence of colors and forms of the world, condensed in make-belief circles and non-repetitive colors.
I am exhibiting the photo «up… Up… Up… Up… » I started in 2007. It depicts the beauty of man-made symbols with the sky as backdrop.
Recent museum exhibitions of my art works include The Rubin Museum of Art (2018), The Pérez Art Museum Miami (2018), The Frost Museum of Science (2017) and Bronx Museum of the Arts (2015).
