Casper Verborg

Casper Verborg uses grand gestures and bright colours to paint scenes in which well-known figures or unknown characters emerge from the background. He shows the world as the theatre of inner stirrings without explicitly zooming in on what actually happened. His characters hint at human drama or just everyday affairs. There are references to Romantic painters but also to more contemporary abstraction.

Verborg sharpens individual hedonistic freedoms against cultural or political situations. Complex relationships appear between the inner man and his environment. When considering his work, you are also confronted with the functional effect of colour on your state of mind. At the same time, the scenes evoke all kinds of associations. Verborg paints passionately to tempt you to look again and again. He succeeds surprisingly well.
