Featured Artist of The Week: Kohlben Vodden!
"Kohlben Vodden is a British/Australian self-taught artist living and working in London, England. He defines his practice as psychological art, that sits at the intersection of conceptual and fine art. Focusing on abstract figurative works in oil, he creates truly unique abstract expressionist representations of the subjects that command the minds attention and are engineered to evoke specific psychological responses.
A newcomer to the professional art world, Vodden has a background in the advertising profession where he specialised in applying psychology and neuroscience to brand marketing. He started his artistic journey during the UK COVID-19 lockdowns toward the end of 2020 when he developed “Orange Ebby” the first piece in a series entitled “Engineered Pleasure” that is inspired by Neuroaesthetics – an experimental field of psychology that seeks to understand how the brain perceives, and is rewarded by, beauty.
His work has quickly drawn interest from domestic and international galleries who have included him in a number a group exhibitions in 2021. He was also recently featured in Artist Talk Magazine."
