Born 2006 – based in Hallingby Kristian Alexander Bang works in the space between surrealism and naturalism, with a popular approach to classical painting. He emphasizes craftsmanship, form, and content—and aims to make quality art accessible, not through experiments with color and form, but through compositions that resonate with the audience. Surrealism in his work is expressed through animal figures in old-fashioned clothing and baroque settings—a playful mix of history and fantasy. At the same time, he draws inspiration from naturalism, especially in portraits and motifs depicting human relationships, such as groups interacting or planning an uprising. For Bang, art should have emotional value. A good piece should grow over time—it should be something you return to, and that gives more than it takes.
