Biography:
Odd Nerdrum, known for his figure, still life, and allegorical painting, studied traditional classical painting at The Art Academy in Oslo, Norway, and later studied with Joseph Beuys in Dusseldorf. He had his first one-person gallery exhibition in New York at the Martina Hamilton Gallery in 1983.
Nerdrum's method of painting is an old world discipline of mixing and grinding his own pigments, stretching his canvas and the exclusive use of models. He is now living in Iceland.
