Bendix Harms

Bendix Harms (born in 1967, in Münster, Germany) is a contemporary artist. He studied at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, MFA, 1991–1997. He lives and works in Hamburg, Germany. His work has been shown in the Prague Biennial (2005) and the first Tirana Biennale (2001). In the fall of 2004, he made his New York City debut alongside John Bock at Anton Kern Gallery.

Bendix comments on his mode of painting stating, “[…] I love artists’ late works—when they display a completely free style because it no longer matters whether their work will earn them applause or a rap over the knuckles. They're beyond all concepts. And I love artists who anticipate their late work.
