Per Kirkeby (1938 –)

Explore the layered worlds of Per Kirkeby – Danish painter, poet & sculptor known for geological themes & experimental art. Tate, MoMA & Centre Pompidou represent his work.

The Danish Parliament (Copenhagen, Denmark)

Located in the historic Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen, the Danish Parliament offers an unmissable look at democratic history through ornate chambers and fine art, inviting you to explore the heart of Denmark.

Kirkeby has been cultivating landscape painting in a modern, picturesque idiom since the middle of the 1970s. He has frequently found his motifs in Greenland, where he has stayed many times and also worked as a geologist, or the island of Læsø where he lives in the summer. Kirkeby usually uses a subdued Nordic palette. He builds up his paintings layer by layer in a time-consuming, laborious process. His decorative works at Christiansborg have a sublime appearance as a total installation with the broad spectrum of colours in the paintings against the background of the red wall, a colour chosen by Per Kirkeby. Author: Lisbeth Bonde, M.A and art critic. Photographer: Torben Eskerod.
