Ulrik Hoff (84 today) is a Danish artist, trained at the Academy in the early 1960s with Palle Nielsen and others. For many years he ran his own prep school for young artists seeking entry into the Academy.

Hoff almost exclusively paints abstract landscapes, inspired by Northern Zealand (Tibirke) or the flat areas of Southern Jutland.

Maja Lisa Engelhardt (b. May 2, 1956) is a Danish artist, known for her work in Danish churches, including one of the very smallest, Lodbjerg Kirke, down the road from where I live.

Engelhardt trained at Det fynske Kunstakademi in the late 1970s and has lived in France since 1981. Her husband, Peter Brandes, bought Asger Jorn’s villa in Colombe, outside Paris, and they live and work there.

Her work is often abstract landscape painting, as in this canvas from SMK:

Else Thoresen (May 1, 1906 - 1994) was a Norwegian-American artist, who studied in Oslo at the Academy and in Brussels. While in Norway she met Danish artist Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen and married him in 1935. As a result she lived and worked in Denmark for a decade, until she had to flee the Nazi occupation in 1944 and go to Sweden. After the war, she returned to the US and remained there.

The Danish National Gallery has one of her symbolic, Surrealist canvases:

HEAD & HEART 22. I am exhilarated by the visual dance between the figurative and abstract.  My body of work fulfills my natural, uninhibited desire to scratch the surface in a gestural, painterly manner toward accuracy, offering more information with less detail. I realize the principles that govern each piece of my art will not be applicable in the next.  Each is a journey unto its own. This series celebrates my learned concepts and techniques as well encourages instinctive moves. In this series of abstract landscape art, I am using my unique voice, striving for harmony of color and rhythm in each composition, offered from both my head & heart. 

Abstract Landscape: Footprints


The wind tiptoes across the desert leaving swirls of her footprints on the earth as twisted dunes, each unique, yet harmonious like synchronous waves on the sea.
