BIOGRAPHY
A graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, visual artist Theis Wendt (b. 1981, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen.
Theis Wendt's practice unfolds across sculpture, installation, and post-photography, weaving together organic and synthetic materials into works that blur the line between the physical and the virtual. Through surfaces that shift and mimic, and forms that seem caught between growth and decay, Wendt creates environments where perception itself becomes unstable.
​
Central to his practice is an exploration of how our ways of seeing - and our sense of reality - are reshaped by the tools and structures through which we encounter the world. Frames, thresholds, and reflections become reminders that vision is never neutral but always mediated. In his works, materiality and illusion fold into one another, producing spaces that are at once disorienting and contemplative.
​
Wendt’s art thrives in the zones of tension between contrasts: organic and industrial, collapse and continuity, presence and disappearance. Rather than offering fixed answers, his works hold these polarities in suspension, opening a field of possibility where something new might be imagined. They suggest that the realities we inhabit are layered and unstable - part tangible, part simulated - yet always charged with potential.
​
While attuned to the ecological and social fragilities of our time, Wendt’s practice maintains a poetic sensibility. Within distortion and fragmentation lies the promise of renewal, a reminder that transformation may emerge precisely in the cracks of perception. His works invite viewers into spaces of uncertainty, where doubt and wonder coexist, and where alternative ways of seeing and relating can begin to take form.
