Kenneth Blom

1967, Roskilde

Biography

Norwegian artist Kenneth Blom (b. 1967) is celebrated for his distinctive style that merges abstraction and figuration. Drawing inspiration from architecture, landscapes, and the human condition, Blom’s work explores themes of isolation, connection, and the interplay between space and identity.


Kenneth Blom studied at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, where he honed his unique approach to color, form, and composition. His paintings, often characterized by stark contrasts and atmospheric tension, have garnered international acclaim and are featured in prominent private and public collections worldwide.


With exhibitions across Europe and beyond, Kenneth Blom continues to captivate audiences with his evocative and thought-provoking art.


”Sometimes we find ourselves at a point in life where we lose our balance. We can fall in love, lose someone close to us, become ill or lose our job. In situations like these we often feel like we lose our footing.


Blom's paintings are very forceful and often portray existential scenarios. We do not know how the story in the painting will end, just as in life"
