CASPER BRUUN

Sensibility
Bruun's pictures could be school examples of the difference between looking and seeing. Superficially viewed, Casper contributes a multitude of warm colors and coloristic compositions that immediately make the observer want to explore further and lie down to see. And when the viewer looks properly, the painter's multifaceted universe opens up as a stream of contrasting and complementary pasts.

Intense imagery
Casper Bruun's paintings easily lead the thought in the direction of the common pictorial perception of earlier and fifties CoBrA painters, their spontaneous expressionism and abstractions. An imagery in which, among other things, birds, masks and symbols, is saturated with emotion. This is probably also the case today, where Bruun makes use of related tools that can have the same effect on the observer.

Naivism
At the other end of Casper Bruun's colorful field of activity, he works with naivism, much like the 1900s naivists did when they expressed a certain childishness and playfulness that lead the mind in the direction of children's drawings, among other things by looking big at the perspective and make use of several other quirks.

Common to genres
Casper Bruun works with happy colours, exciting complementary zones, materiality, light and shadow, which together breathe distinctive life into both surfaces and compositions.

Sea, light and vastness
Casper Bruun was born in 1975. Today he lives in Ebeltoft, where he is enriched by, among other things, the view of Frigatten Jylland, Ebeltoft Vig and the old maritime town's glorious surrounding nature from his studio, where there is an opportunity to to see many different examples of his work.
