Stig Brøgger (8 December 1941 – 8 February 2021[1]) was a Danish artist who worked with sculpture, painting, installations and photography.
[2][3] His aims have been to show how art contributes to man's experience of life and his understanding of the surrounding world.
[2][3] Early works included De fire temperamenter (The Four Temperaments, 1966) consisting of large figures covering the exhibition walls, Lady Luck (1967), which was repositioned every day providing different effects, and the Pamela Series (1968) depicting the same person but with different texts focusing on varied interpretations.
[4] In 1974, together with Hein Heinsen and Mogens Møller, Brøgger founded the Institut for Skalakunst which produced a number of decorative public works such as Stedet og skyggen (Place and Shadow, 1976) for Birkerød's Sjælsøskolen, Stjerne, Stjerneport og Stjernefragment (Star, Star Gate and Star Fragment, 1980) for Aalborg University, Fredens Port (Gate of Peace, 1982) in the Copenhagen district of Nørrebro as well as comprehensive decoration of Ollerup Gymnastics School (2007).
[4] Striving to provide better understanding of the world, his paintings combine geometrical shapes with unruly masses of colour.
