Sergej Jensen (1973) — Auction
Sergej Jensen is a contemporary Danish artist, known for his sparse paintings that highlight the formal intricacies of a painting’s structure. Through muted hues and eclectic mark-making, Jensen probes the subtly of materials. His work is perhaps best understood in the context of other Minimalist painters like Michael Krebber, Robert Ryman, and Blinky Palermo. Jensen has described his practice as "Painting without paint." His surfaces and materials are handled in a manner that the most delicate scrubbed and patinated areas act as expressive marks.
Sergej Jensen’s work draws on a wide range of materials and formal references. Primarily known for his textile works, his lyrical compositions incorporate a variety of fabrics, from burlap and linen to silk and wool.
