Aubrey Kurlansky

Bensley

Creative Director

Aubrey is an artist designer and photographer from the UK now based in Bangkok. Previously he lived and worked in London for 30 years prior to moving to Singapore in 2013. Since 2013 he has worked in Luxury hospitality, first for HBA.com and latterly in Bangkok for Bensley.com where he is the resident artist, jewelry and graphic designer amongst many other things.

He has had 4 successful exhibitions in Asia. He has a passion and love for the human body as the subject for his artworks. He creates bold and powerful images, infused with a keen sense of design and form – working with both photography and painting as his chosen media. His principal interest is in exploring diversity and differences in the human form.

Born in South Africa, Aubrey moved to the UK when he was 18. He studied art at the Bath Academy of Art and Graphics and The London College of Printing and fell in love with all things visual. After college, he worked for Richard Bird – resident designer of the National Theatre and was fortunate enough to work on theatre, dance, opera, and art gallery posters.

He designed many memorable campaigns that require a story to be reduced to its essence and conveyed in a split second. A useful skill that has greatly benefited his work as an artist.
