The Artistic Foundation of Søren Elgaard

Born in Aalborg, Denmark, Søren Elgaard is a painter, graphic artist, and non-fiction writer. His academic background includes studying art history at Aarhus University and the University of Copenhagen between 1971 and 1978. During the years 1976 to 1979, he received instruction in model drawing from graphic artists Elsa Nielsen and Palle Nielsen, though he is also considered a self-taught painter. His work often engages with the relationship between motif and motivation, drawing from the raw material of reality.
