Benjamin Tenko’s painting moves between figuration and abstraction, where colour, gesture and fragments of imagery create compositions that are both intuitive and carefully constructed.
Benjamin Taillard, known as Tenko (b. 1980, Le Locle, Switzerland), lives and works in La Chaux-de-Fonds. A painter and musician, his practice explores the shifting boundary between figuration and abstraction through colour, gesture, light and a constantly evolving pictorial vocabulary.
