David Behrens

David Behrens is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans kinetic sculpture, music composition, and film. Raised in the artistic community of Pittenweem, Fife, he grew up immersed in the imaginative world of his father Reinhard Behrens’ Naboland and began exhibiting early works during the annual Pittenweem Arts Festival. After studying music at the Reid School of Music, Edinburgh College of Art, David worked on creative outreach projects in The Gambia and Greece, and spent four years with the East Neuk Festival. He is currently undertaking a Master’s in Composing for Film at the National Film and Television School in London. For The Behrens Family exhibition at The Scottish Gallery, David Behrens will present a new series of kinetic sculptures accompanied by original music and a short film reflecting on his family’s creative legacy.
