Artist Biography

Kohlben Vodden is a British-Australian avant-garde artist based in London whose work bridges philosophy, psychology, and material experimentation. His practice has evolved from early abstracted figurative oil paintings into large-scale conceptual works crafted with dyed resin on mirrored and reflective surfaces. These pieces invite viewers to see abstracted versions of themselves within shifting fields of light and colour, transforming universal ideas into immersive visual experiences.

Having travelled to 70 countries, Vodden’s perspective is shaped by a collective human narrative that transcends borders and singular cultural identities. His art asks timeless questions about perception, mastery, resilience, and the nature of self - through a visual language that is as psychological as it is aesthetic.

Vodden has exhibited internationally across Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Africa, with recent shows at the Seattle Art Fair, Dorothy Circus Gallery in London, and Uniquity in Cape Town. His work has been featured in leading publications including British VOGUE, Untitled Magazine, and Kaltblut Magazine, where he was named among the “Class of 2025.” Public installations include ArtistTalk in New York’s Times Square.

His works are held in private collections in Hollywood, Melbourne, San Francisco, Zurich, and London. Vodden is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a member of the Visual Artists Association (UK).
