£2,900.00

Layered Dyed Resin on Mirror Polished Stainless Steel

Size: 42cm x 60cm

Kohlben Vodden is a contemporary artist working between London and Dubai, recognised for his wall-mounted spectral sculptures that investigate the relationship between colour, light, and perception. Exhibited internationally at institutions including the Saatchi Gallery, Christie's, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, Vodden’s practice explores how abstract ideas might be experienced purely through colour and optical sensation. Themes such as resilience, acceptance, and self-mastery are translated into immersive chromatic fields where meaning emerges through perception rather than representation.

Each sculpture is produced through a proprietary multi-layered process using dyed resin and mirrored surfaces to create shifting optical effects through depth, transparency, and reflected light. Responsive to movement and environment, the works continually transform in relation to the viewer, positioning light itself as an active material within the composition. Balancing conceptual rigour with sensory experience, Vodden’s practice reflects an ongoing investigation into abstraction, perception, and the emotional potential of colour as a spatial and psychological force.
