Hans Andkjaer was born in Denmark in 1974. He has studied at many institutions including Montclaire University, New York, Exeter College of Art and Design, UK, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, UK. The predominant element in Hans’ work is charcoal drawing - he is attracted by the directness of the mark making process and the simple way the lines on a surface create shape and form. The properties of oil paint make an important addition to the surface quality of the work. His Scandinavian background has significantly influenced his work and is evident in the simplicity of colour, line, space and light and the use of nature as subject matter. In these works he has been inspired by the mixture of science and art that is found in botanical books and has found himself drawn to common field plants and flowers rather than to the cultivated flowers that often are depicted in traditional floral paintings. They have an unspoiled quality about them, which he appreciates.
