Jørgen Boberg

Jørgen Boberg (24 October 1940 – 24 August 2009) was a self-taught Surrealist Danish painter and illustrator.

Boberg was a leading representative of Danish Surrealism, creating both figure paintings and landscapes with a high level of technical perfection.

[1] Towards the end of the 1980s, Boberg created strongly coloured paintings in a collage-like style combining pieces of food with pornography.

He went on to depict a series of sensuous situations with photographic realism as a starting point, producing images combining engineering drawing with painting while addressing the tension between art and life.

[3][4] Boberg lived in Pietrasanta in Italy for almost 30 years before returning to Denmark.
