He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1965–1970 and again in 1978–1982. From the 1960s onwards he developed a figurative, expressive and strongly colouristic approach to painting, with people, houses and mask-like faces becoming recurring motifs. His early work was influenced by Expressionism, while contemporary rock music and the existential concerns of modernism were important reference points in his artistic development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Various","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55818309173590,"sku":"648127","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/7356\/1761\/files\/648127.jpg?v=1792237432","url":"https:\/\/l-art-copenhagen.com\/products\/648127","provider":"L' ART COPENHAGEN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
