An Abstract Man

 

 

Morten Lassen

$1,000 works on paper

Lassen has worked exclusively as an artist since 1995. Having held dozens of solo and group exhibitions in Denmark, Sweden, Germany and the UK and six solo exhibitions in Australia since 2003, Lassen has established himself firmly as an artist of considerable reputation both in Australia and internationally.

We were lucky enough to see some of Morten's work up close and personal at the Art Equity stand at Art Melbourne this May. Check out some of his stunning work on paper - a rare opportunity to snap up a Lassen bargain for under $1,000.

"Collected widely within his native Denmark, his works are included in significant public and private collections including: Danske Advokater; Ministery of the Interior and Health; Det Gule Palæ, Gråsten; IBO, Herlev; HTH, Åbenrå; Den Danske Bank, Haderslev; Multisal, Gråsten skole Telenor, Ballerup; Pfizer, København; Ålborg Universitet; The Traffic Department Copenhagen county; and KPMG, Sydney.

International Scholarships have included: Jyllands-Postens Scholarship Studio in Berlin, 2004; Artist in residence, Sydney Grammar School, 2003; and Den Hielmstjerne Rosencroneske Stiftelse (Multisal), 1999.

Undoubtedly an abstractionist, Lassen feels that his work is not based on anything in particular in the real world.  For him, the existentialism of painting has become his oeuvre.  It is important to realise with Lassen's work that there is a meditative quality - the result of seeing and feeling one's environment. Structures create frameworks on the picture plane for colour and tonal variation, whilst in his latest body of work, high key intensity of colour is applied adding a frenetic dynamism."  Art Equity
