Kent Wahlbeck is an adventurer.

 
Wahlbeck is an adventurer who constantly explores the
expressional possibilities within the actions
of drawing a line or combining strokes of paint. And when
the process of drawing and the process of
painting supports each other in a harmonic way, the final
painting may become a colorful and
striking manifestation of love and lust for life and art.

His paintings are crowded of humans, beasts and
symbols.

They give us a pure existentialist and discursive vision
of life as a journey from innocence to wisdom, from ignorance to competence.

In collages and assemblages, he sometimes collects artifacts
from his own past to show us how even the smallest and
the most ignored little things can tell us
about culture, nature and life.

This is a sort of "criminal research" within the soul.
