Søren Sejr
Søren Sejr is a Danish artist based in Aarhus, Denmark. Sejr works in painting, sculpture, and graphic. In recent years, Sejr has increasingly focused on abstraction and monochrome color surfaces in his works.
Sejr's works range from medium to grand formats. Due to his minimalistic idiom, otherwise subtle differences in composition, nuance, and texture stand out and crystalize - in both his paintings, reliefs, and sculptures. Some works are made from found materials, which he transforms and stages. In the creating and transforming of works and objects, Sejr manages to highlight the details, beauty, and character of the works. For some years his works were mainly black and white, which brings the daylight into play as a part in the artworks. Movement and the way the light changes during the day creates a vivid surface due to Sejr's tentative approach towards material, reflection, and tactility. In his more recent work, Sejr has moved into colorwork, still focusing on layers, material, and form.
Sejr graduated from Aarhus Art Academy. He has done several solo exhibitions and numerous group shows. Sejr has done public commissions, is represented in museum, public, and private collections.
