Bengt Tibert’s magisterial women, clad in neon lycra, are created using AI and thus free of the limitations of mortality. Dazzling in dramatic natural settings, they might be the heroic survivors of natural disasters or pastiches of gymwear-clad women indulging in a ‘Selfiesta’ of posterior displays and conspicuous styling, like Birds of Paradise dancing whilst the world burns.

Step aside subtlety, Bengt Tibet is here, creating art with a taste for catastrophe and a flair for fun, Bengt presents a high-voltage parade of images that perhaps ask: what if being fabulous means embracing our flaws?

Rendered in a campy, realistic style, meet a carousel of characters who wear their exaggerated, unnatural selves with ease. This work celebrates how we perform our identities, inflate our self-image, and shapeshift through a world teetering on the edge of absurdity. His work is part satire, part celebration, a humorous, hyperbolic reminder that we live in a world constantly on the verge of meltdown, so being the boldest thing you can be is gloriously ridiculous and fun.
