Jesper D. Lund

HannemannLund painter Jesper D. Lund studied at the academy of arts in Holbæk (dk) in 1999, and the Academy of Arts in Genove. Jesper’s artwork has been shown in many galleries such as: Galerie Wolfsen (Aalborg DK), Gallery Veggerby (Copenhagen, DK), Art Copenhagen, Forum (Copenhagen, DK), The Artis’s Summer Exhibition (Tirstrup, DK) and Gallery Kirk (Aalborg, DK). In recent years Jesper has worked with nature, especially with trees as his motifs. He explores all the different transformation and possibilities that nature has. He works with different materials, colours and enjoys playing between the abstract and the naturalistic of his paintings. He has developed a unique work method, firstly by creating figurations with a special form of paste on the backside of the canvas. He then paints the front of the canvas with a very old school glue, made out of rabbit skin. Jesper uses oil paint to finish his piece of artwork “When I discovered my own work method. I started with a variety of concepts other than nature . But it made me feel very restricted. The thought that it had to look exactly like something, made me feel very limited as an artist. Take for example a house: A house should look like a house! But with nature and trees, it feels I can express freely. They begin at the bottom and from there upwards anything is possible!“ Jesper is inspired by his surroundings, which is why a few of his artworks have inspirations from the northen part of Zealand, where he has a studio and country home. He also finds creativity on his travels, which is shown in his work.
