Ivan Andersen, DK

Danish artist Ivan Andersen works with painting, often using found imagery that he distorts and recreates on canvas, MDF, or plywood.

Deeply interested in materiality, he explores how the surface interacts with the subject. Moving between realism and abstraction, Andersen layers textures and mixed media to reveal new visual structures. His vivid use of color brings energy and depth, creating paintings that invite slow looking and reflection on perception, memory, and the tactile qualities of the medium.
