Laust Höjgaard (b. 1989, Denmark)
Laust Höjgaard's work combines expressive exaggeration with precise detailed work, finely crafted textures and conscious distortions. Mythological echoes combine with elements of pop and urban culture; the figures, with symbolic signs, play with geometry, irony and monumentality. Each is distinctive in its body language, which Höjgaard implements in a direct painting style and multi-layered layers of color, creating tangible spatial depth.
