Christian Bundegaard

Confidently working in broad, sweeping strokes of color, Danish artist Christian Bundegaard distills his childhood vision of the world into subtle, elemental movements of land, sea, and sky. As he paints, Bundegaard’s perception of the world emerges in his abstracted scenes of landscapes and figures with a playful sensitivity and innocence. With a textural layering of rich hues, the artist thickly applies oil paints on canvas with a striking physicality, creating vivid expanses of color and form. Recently he has also incorporated modern technologies into his work, creating digital sketches in his series of “iPhone paintings,” creations which are inkjet printed on Hahnemuhle fine arts paper and breathe an atmospheric softness, blurring the divide between app and art.

A well-travelled ‘Renaissance man’ with many varied pursuits and passions, Christian Bundegaard has published several collections of poetry as well as articles on art, literature, and philosophy. In addition, he holds a PhD scholarship from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
