Analyzing Kurt Wenner's Absolut Vodka Paintings

The Absolut Vodka painting was done in Stockholm, Sweden (Wrenn, and Abraham). This painting turned out to be the painting that allowed Wenner to be known by a wider audience.

This job grew into a relationship between Wenner and Disney; he trained some of the top engineers at Disney Imagineering as well as theme park designers to use unusual uses of perspective (“Kurt Wenner”). The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC has invited Wenner to speak about his art and his unique use of perspectives on several different occasions (“Kurt Wenner”). Wenner has a teacher side to him that urges him to spread his knowledge. He often donates his time and expertise to nonprofit street painting
