#danish sculptor

Henrik Olrik (May 24, 1830 - 1890) was a Danish sculptor, decorator, designer and painter. He trained as a sculptor at the Royal Academy, made figurines, silverware, and even designed the first Danish 10 Kroner bill.

However, it was portraits of members of the Royal House, such as King Christian IX, that buttered his bread. He had excellent technique as witnessed by this genre piece:

Bruden smykkes af sin veninde, 1859 - oil on canvas (SMK)

Erik A. Frandsen is a Danish conceptual artist, and he turns 65 today. He is well-educated in the graphic arts (in Paris), ceramics (in Greece) and sculpture (in Carrara, Italy). Frandsen is also the co-founder of Værkstedet Værst in 1981 with other of the ‘young wild’ generation of Danish artists.

Above is an installation photo from a show at Horsens Kunstmuseum (2013), titled Pilgrimage for an Armchair Explorer, for which Frandsen had made large acrylic paintings, painted sculptures and other objects.
