Sven Frøkjær-Jensen has had a very thorough university
education as a professionel
historian, which has been a great advantage
for him in his work. He started out with
a vivid and
strong
fascination of the Cobra movement, but through
his
studies of Byzantine
painting and the art of the native peopleof Bali
and Australia, he created for himself
a new
language
of art, in which he combines the precise knowledge of his
medium with
the hightest degree of intense artistic espression.
He often
uses unvonventional materials in his works.
Mr. John R. Math director of the
Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery Jupiter
,
Florida
,
USA
says in this
juror statement from the Gallery:
Light

Art
Gallery
has been most
fortunate to have the Danish artist Sven Froekjaer-Jensen
participating in several of their group art exhibitions. Sven is an
extraordinary painter who produces wonderfully vibrant abstracts. His
paintings interpret his subjective thoughts and deep feelings with
bold splashes of color. Besides his brilliant abstracts, our gallery
was fortunate to have observed the full range of Sven’s artistic
talent when he participated in our “Figurative” exhibition with
his classic nude drawing entitled “Tulla”. Sven also was a
contributor in our “Landscape” exhibition with his oil painting
“Winter” which depicts the harsh winter landscape of his native
Denmark
.
Overall,
we are quite pleased to have Sven as a regular contributor to our art
gallery and we follow his art career from afar. Sven will always be a
welcomed artist at Light Space & Time Online Gallery.
Curator
Carolus Stoop, director of Gallery Zero, writes:
It
is a great pleasure for me to announce, that it has been possible for
galleri Zero to persuade the Danish artist Sven Froekjaer-Jensen to
participate in our exhibition at the Instituto Cervantes,
211 East 49th
Street
,
NY
10017
,
New York
,
USA
from the 4. of
November to the 8. of November 2013.
I
have chosen Sven Froekjaer-Jensen because of his outstanding qualities
as an artist both concerning his technical mastership, his freedom of
expression and his very unique work with the old structures of mankind
in his brilliant paintings.
The
exhibition is in collaboration with the Cervantes Institute of New
York and Sven Froekjaer-Jensen has been selected together with 17
other international artists.
I
know that Sven Froekjaer-Jensen is a very succesfull and busy artist
with a fresh new attitude towards art and its modern expressions and I
am looking very much forward to the cooperation in
New York
with this fine
Danish artist.
