Abel Kabel (b. 2000 in Herning, Denmark) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Aarhus, Denmark. His paintings are typically a distinctive blend of texture and intuitive line drawings on canvas, using thick paint to create a balanced interplay between light and heavy elements. His work depicts urban everyday life unprejudiced and builds intriguing narratives through combinations of symbols, text, and meaning. Characterized by its originality and energetic approach, he dives into themes of identity and nostalgia with his immediate and honest approach. Kabel’s works reflect a playful and experimental approach that invites the viewer to participate in his world. His works are not just what meets the eye, but a manifestation of his inner world and the flow of inspiration that drives him.

His work has been shown on various occasions, including the solo exhibition WEB DEPICTIONS at Ulstrup Gallery (2024), ARoS <3 K7: Turbo Dum at ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum (2024), RECOLLECTION at Ulstrup Gallery (2024), KA Sound: Turbo Dum at Kunsthal Aarhus (2023), PUFF PUFF PAINT at Mott Projects, Los Angeles (2022), and a solo show at Aarhus Art Space (2018).
