ANDERS DAVIDSEN

Lives and works in Knebel (DK)

Anders Davidsen’s captivating paintings trace the passage of time using seascapes as a foundation for explorations of the effects of atmosphere and light.

Working from memories of time spent near the ocean in all its expanse, images emerge from a setting sun or rising moon resting on the horizon. Varyingly sized seascapes are pinned up around his studio, individual experiments into the endless amalgamations of light, air, and water. Completing his paintings sequentially, each canvas is a fusion of inner and outer worlds; a reflection of these quiet moments of contemplation.

The artist will be included in the group show, Tidal flows: Climate Rhythms in Contemporary Art, at The Glucksman, University College Cork (IR), on view from November 27, 2026 – April 11, 2027.

Next year, Davidsen will present a solo exhibition of new works at GRIMM, London (UK).
