artist biography

Bengt Orup (1916–1996) was a Swedish painter, graphic artist, sculptor, and glass designer, and one of the leading figures in the Skåne avant-garde after the Second World War.

Born on January 30, 1916, in Lindesberg, Orup was the son of headmaster Birger Orup and Dagny Nilson. He married Teddi Flygare in 1939. Initially abandoning his secondary school studies to train as a commercial artist, he soon shifted toward painting and studied at Otte Sköld’s Painting School in Stockholm (1934–1935), which laid the foundation for his artistic career.

A formative stay in Paris from 1937 to 1938 was followed by numerous study trips abroad — including France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands — that exposed him to international modernism. He made his exhibition debut in 1941 with a solo show in Helsingborg, and soon became a provocative and experimental presence in the art scene of southern Sweden.

Orup’s early works, often landscapes and architectural motifs, were painted in a naïve, expressionist style with simplified forms and muted planes of colour. By the late 1940s, influenced by Paul Klee, his work moved toward abstraction, with stylised figures bound in networks of black linear ornament before developing into more purely geometric compositions. His paintings were characterised by bold colour contrasts or restrained palettes of black, grey, and white.

Finding easel painting too limited, Orup increasingly turned to decorative and architectural projects. He created mosaics, wall paintings, stucco decorations, and sculptural commissions for public spaces. From 1952 he served as artistic director at Johansfors Glasbruk in Småland, where he developed innovative glass designs and large-scale compositions, helping to define postwar Swedish glass art.

Orup was central to the renewal of Skåne’s art scene. Alongside Torsten Hult and Kaj Siesjö, he co-founded the group Grupp III, organizing exhibitions and publishing prints and writings. He exhibited widely in Sweden, including solo shows in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Helsingborg, and other cities, and internationally in Chicago, New York, Paris, Zurich, Sydney, and Philadelphia. He participated in the traveling exhibition Swedish Abstract in the United States (1955–56), further cementing his international reputation.

Bengt Orup is represented at, among others, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the National Museum, the Moderna Museet,  and the Nordic Museum, all in Stockholm, Kalmar Art Museum, Örebro County Museum, Småland Museum, Helsingborg Museum, Västergötland Museum and Norrköping Art Museum, and the Tessin Institute in Paris, as well as in international collections such as the Gewerbemuseum in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Orup’s bold explorations across painting, sculpture, and glass established him as a pioneer of Swedish modernism and a key figure in 20th-century Scandinavian art.

The Best!
This thing is amazing! Worked right out of the box. No drivers to install, no confusion, just plug and go. I'm using this hub to connect a mouse, a keyboard, and a monitor to my 2025 MacBook Air (M4). Before buying this I bought a complicated, powered hub for 2x the price and wasted multiple hours trying to get the $%^&(*& thing to work, which it never did. If you want to run a display and a few peripherals, this Startech hub is the absolute best bang for your buck.

Quality Control Issues
I want to like this dock, I really do. I purchased it with the intention of using it as a hub for my phone + usb-c external display. The pass-through charging never worked on this dock. Tried multiple cords and tested the dock with nothing plugged into any of the USB ports -- all of the power disappears somewhere onto the hub and the actual charge rate on my phone slows to a trickle. With nothing connected, it estimates >24hrs to charge from 30% to full. The plus side is that the usb ports do work, though the usb-c display went from 100% reliability to <50% within a few months of purchase. Extremely frustrating.

This is the one, buy it for DeX!
Looking for a compact USB hub to connect your laptop or Samsung DeX capable device? Buy this one! I've tried multiple similar items from name brands, and they work fine as a USB and port hub, but this one is able to support power delivery and display data through a single (capable) USB-c cable. I assume because it is noted to be capable of some combo of USB 3.2, PD 3.0 pass through and DP 1.4 alt mode. I'm not quite sure which one(s) make it possible, but it works for an HP Spectre laptop and Galaxy phone. Only improvement suggestion is to add an additional 10gb capable USB-C port in place of the three USB-A ports, but that's being super picky. Thanks StarTech for building another unique solution for connectivity challenges.

Usb-c passthrough started failing about a year into ownership.
This had the potential to be the perfect accessory for my M4 MacBook Air. It is very difficult to find dongles like this that support display passthrough via usb-c (meaning that if you have a usb-c display you can connect it to this and use the display). When it did work, I was able to power a triple monitor setup with my 2 port Macbook Air (with one display being driven by a displaylink adapter). If this product had continued to work as advertised, is would be a 5 star review. But after maybe a year of VERY sporadic use (I use this maybe once a week because my MacBook Air is not often docked) the usb-c passthrough is already failing. On a display I use every day with a different machine (a 16" MBP that has enough ports to not need any adapters) and the display and cable work perfectly fine there so I can only assume that it is this specific adapter which is failing. If I insert the connector several times, sometimes I can get it to work but my success rate just keeps dropping. There was no other reason to spend this much on an adapter that without usb-c passthrough offers just 3 usb-a ports like most much cheaper adapters. So to say I am disappointed is an understatement.

Expensive, but it works
The good parts: Yup, this works with DP alt mode, single cable use works for most devices I tried (steam deck, laptop, odin mini 2) even without the hub powered through the power in on the hub, I even got it working without external power to either the hub or my small usb-c monitor. However, some devices like my phone likely didn't give enough power for it to work without another power source. On my phone it worked for some usb devices without external power, but the dp alt mode didn't do work. DP alt on my phone works just fine with external power connected to the hub. Powering it with a small but powerful power bank worked fine, but lower power power banks might not keep up especially if the monitor isn't getting it's own power. It only takes a watt or two of power for the hub itself from some quick and dirty measurements charging my laptop through the pd-in on the hub. As for the rest of it, the three usb 3 ports means you should be enough to get by for any use case, though you may need more dongles or adapters to get the type of connections you need, but quite usable as-is for a lot of purposes. Basically it does what it says, there really is no other hub currently that can do pd alt mode, only big docks which need power supplies. The ok parts: *When it isn't powered* I noticed that with a monitor already plugged in, plugging it into a device would lead to the monitor not being initialized. But plugging the hub into the device first before connecting the monitor worked. No issue when it was powered. You can use this to get display out and charge with a Nintendo switch, but if it's not powered through the pd-in it probably wont switch to TV mode and output video, not sure if that's because of power or software reasons. This is a nitpick, but if you care about the feel or aesthetic it's noticeably bland. The case is plastic and there seems to be no weighting on the inside, it's very light, which can feel cheap but it's not like adding weights would functionally make it better, the case also has a bit of a harsh feeling where it's joined, but it does feel solid and durable enough. It's clearly function over form, just barely meets the minimum bar imo. The bad part: You already saw, but the price is a bit steep for a hub (at $80). I'd love to see it at 60 or even 40 instead, I hope more similar hubs pop up for competition. In summary: It does what it says, if you know you want this and what it is then get it, I feel like it shouldn't cost this much, but it's quite usable and for now it's the only option for a DP alt mode hub. Minus a half star each for subpar presentation and price 4/5
