Sergej Jensen

Sergej Jensen's minimal paintings draw on a wide range of materials and formal references. Jensen uses the material and its possible sews, bleaches, stretches or stains to create lyrical, abstract compositions. Fabrics like linen, silk, wool or flags and old moneybags are used and treated almost as recycled ready-mades. The canvases have many tactile gestures, and flecks of wool or frayed edges become part of the artist's palette for his paintings.

The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Bergen Kunsthall and includes more than 40 works produced between 2001 and 2008.

Sergej Jensen (b. 1973 Maglegård, Denmark) lives and works in Berlin.
