Sergej Jensen is a contemporary Danish artist, known for his sparse paintings that highlight the formal intricacies of a painting’s structure. Through muted hues and eclectic mark-making, Jensen probes the subtly of materials. His work is perhaps best understood in the context of other Minimalist painters like Michael Krebber, Robert Ryman, and Blinky Palermo. Jensen has described his practice as "Painting without paint." His surfaces and materials are handled in a manner that the most delicate scrubbed and patinated areas act as expressive marks. Born in 1973 in Maglegaard, Denmark, he went on to study at the Städelschule in Frankfurt under the artist Thomas Bayrle. The artist’s quiet works have received significant international attention, and are in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Jensen currently lives and works between Berlin, Germany, and New York, NY.
