Jens Birkemose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jens Birkemose (born 28 June 1943) is a well-known contemporary Danish painter.
Originally a student of piano, music theory, and composition, he went on to study at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in Copenhagen and the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
His works are inspired by the New York School of painting and are famous for their hidden shapes, some of which take a lot of effort to discover. Examples of these shapes include demon-like creatures, mermaids, birds, and cats.
He is the 1991 winner of the prestigious Eckersberg Medal and is represented at several of Denmark's finest museums, including Statens Museum for Kunst.
Since 1976 Paris has been his primary residence.
