Born: 25th October 1956, Aalborg, Denmark
Educated at Skolen for Brugskunst, Copenhagen, 1975-78,
Academy of Art College, San Francisco, 1980-81
Member of “Workshop Worst” from 1982 to 1984
Affiliated to the art group “De Unge Vilde” throughout the 1980’s
Lars Nørgård worked from 1977 until 1980 in a photo realistic style. During his studies in USA 1980-81, his paintings changed with an emphasis on abstract expression, especially inspired by the artist, Willem De Kooning. His palette was now “Americanised”, with strong, bold and light colours. On his return to Denmark, Lars Nørgård joined his acquaintance, Erik A. Frandsen’s experimental art school, “Workshop Worst”. Lars Nørgård was a part of this art community, and developed over the next few years a figurative style, more allegorical paintings with the members of Workshop Worst as stage models. From 1986, Lars Nørgård alternated between an abstract expressional style, now with a heavy Nordic colour pallet, and a tight cartoonist figurative style. In 1998, Lars Nørgård decided to stop the pendulum, and chose to gather the threads to create the painting style, that today are characteristic for the artist – an amalgamation of figures and space, a picture devoid of a complete explanation, an energetic expression with both abstract and surreal elements. The surreal elements come from the many, completely over simplified line drawings within Lars Nørgård’s parallel production.

Født 25.oktober 1956,
Aalborg Uddannet på Skolen for Brugskunst, København, 1975-78,
Academy of Art College, San Francisco, 1980-81
Medlem af “Værkstedet Værst” fra 1982-1984
Tilknyttet “De Unge Vilde” op gennem firserne
Lars Nørgård arbejdede i 1977-80 i et fotorealistisk sprog. Ved studiet i USA 1980-81, blev dette maleri dog hurtigt udskiftet med et abstrakt ekspressivt udtryk, især inspireret af maleren Willem De Kooning. Paletten var nu “amerikaniseret”, i stærke, lysende farver. Tilbage i Danmark stiftede LN bekendtskab med Erik A. Frandsen, medstifter af den eksperimenterende kunstskole “Værkstedet Værst”. LN blev en del af dette kunstnerfællesskab, og udviklede på et par år et figurativt sprog, et allegorisk maleri, med medlemmerne af VV, som modeller i scenerierne. Efter 1986 arbejdede LN skiftevis i et abstrakt-ekspressivt udtryk, nu med brug af mere nordiske, tunge farvetoner, samt et stramt tegneserieagtigt, figurativt sprog. I 1998 stoppede LN denne penduleren, og samlede trådene til det maleri, der idag er kendetegnende for kunstneren: en sammensmeltning af figur og rum, et billede blottet for færdige forklaringer og egentlige fix-punkter, et energisk udtryk med både abstrakte og surreelle elementer. De sureelle elementer hentes fra de mange, helt forenklede stregtegninger, Lars Nørgård´s sideløbende produktion.
