About Exhibition: Sea and Wind by Tea Bendix

These black and white illustrations are shown together for the first time and give each story another dimension and are full of surprises, just like the stories!

A princess finds her freedom in becoming a prince; Viking ships carry future kings to their destiny; a coastal town miraculously survives a flood of waves three metres high and a mermaid's laugh brings fortune to a fisherman... explore the stories of the illustrations with Svend-Erik at a special launch event on Sunday 9 Feb.

Tea Bendix is a Danish illustrator, author, graphic designer and live drawing performer, based in Copenhagen. She graduated from the Danish School of Design and works across different media, including picture books, non-fiction, apps, children’s radio and drawings for TV as well as concerts that combine drawings and visual narratives in collaboration with dancers or orchestras.
