Thomas Granslev

Thomas Granslev (b.1967) in Denmark is best known as Neo-expressionist painter, master of spontaneous form & color. Since young he was taken by an urge to express himself thru art. He attended classes at a local Art School but most of his work was self-taught. The remarkable colors and forms on his abstract paintings are his emotions. Landscapes and nature also are part of his inspiration - new colors and light are found in nature. Many artists have inspired him. Egon Schiele, Austrian figurative painter. The Danish painter, poet, sculptor and film maker Per Kirkeby and of course, Van Gogh. Picasso said “It took me a lifetime to paint like a child”.
