STEPHEN KENT

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Stephen Kent. Born in 1985 in Pennsylania, Kent received his BFA from Pennsylvania State University in 2007 and his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, USA, in 2013. He works around ideas of resolution and image production through the decorative gesture and the exploration of cultural codes embedded in everyday objects. Stephen currently lives and works in Berlin and will be staying in Studio Verde during November 2022.
