1941-2003
As long as he could remember, Kurt Severin Andersen. had always painted and drawn. As a young man in the 1960s, his motifs were mostly naturalistic. Later he started to use painting as a therapeutic tool. His motif changed and he seemed to explore the more physically intangible.
At first glance the painting seem safe, with their muted colors and soft gliding lines. But if we look again, isolated objects are removed from their usual setting and placed in different and unknown contexts. Out af what seems familiar and calm, more cruel images emerge.
Kurt Severin Andersen. worked with the contrast between the natural and organic – the soft and transient – and the more hard, manmade objects.
