Lars Nørgård is first and foremost an abstract-expressionist painter, creating wonderful large scale paintings bursting with colour and defined shapes. Yet despite his successful exicution in this area the 53 year old Danish artist has continued to produce fantastic works of surreal sketches using the modest method of pen on paper.

Most of Lars’ shows and exhibitions have been found in Scandinavia, with a few in America, but the artist is yet to exhibit in the United Kingdom despite his influence on modern surreal illustration in the UK being obvious. So as we continue to wait for the first Lars show, please enjoy some of my favorite sketches from his incredible portfolio of drawings:
