The Art of Bjoern

Born 1960 in Odense, Denmark. Lives and works in Denmark.

 

I began exhibiting my paintings in 1984, which means, that in 2009 I have been showing my work

in galleries and art shows - mainly in Scandinavia - for 25 years.

 

Back in my teens the reading of cartoons was probably the inspiration to the universe that now shows in my work.

 

My paintings are kind of surreal – and perhaps slightly naïve - with a strong edge of humor.

A universe occupied with weird small beings dominates the symbolic paintings.

 

They act as a kind of storytellers in the paintings, where they portray the doings of man through life.

 

“ If my work is considered, as being the pain in the ass, that makes cold-hearted, narrow-minded humans with lack of humor and empathy, sit slightly uncomfortable in their chairs – well, I can live with that ”!
