Asger Jorn

Danish painter and sculptor Asger Jorn (1914–1973) was known for his expressive colourful abstract works that merged spontaneity with symbolism, often inspired by Nordic mythology and folklore. His art challenges traditional forms, embracing a raw, energetic aesthetic that celebrates creativity and freedom. Jorn’s influence extended beyond painting into ceramics, prints and writings, making him a key figure in post-war European art.
