Collection: Jeppe Nedergaard

Jeppe Nedergaard (born 1979)

His work emerges through an instinctive and exploratory approach to figurative art, where the motif is not predefined but discovered in the act of painting. He is drawn to the tension between inner balance and unrest-states that shape both human behaviour and his own lived experience.

Through layered and dynamic techniques, his paintings shift between abstraction and clarity; up close they fragment, while figures and compositions reveal themselves from a distance.

Art is Jeppe's space of freedom. He deliberately breaks away from rules, expectations, and external references to remain connected to what moves within him in the moment of creation.

Jeppe's process moves back and forth between harmony and disruption, beauty and distortion, until an inner resonance surfaces. He paints without a fixed destination. The process itself is where he explores, heals, confronts, and understands. Each stroke becomes both a release and an anchor-a way to navigate the emotional landscapes that shape his work.

Jeppe Nedergaard anno 2026 - a period characterized by experiments, new techniques and work across materials.

Many of the works are done as mixed media and combine, among other things, acrylic, oil, oil sticks and pastel. During this period, my focus has been on the process and on challenging my own habits and boundaries as an artist.

A large part of the works are created on paper in smaller formats than my typical canvases, which has given me the opportunity to work more spontaneously, intuitively and immediately. Along the way, I have developed my visual language, and some works may surprise, while others still bear clear traces of the expression known from my previous works.

At the same time, I have opened up to new motifs, including still lifes with flowers, and explored a broader and a more nuanced color palette. Perhaps it is a counter-reaction to the unrest and conflicts that characterize the world around us. Perhaps it is my way of seeking balance between light and dark, good and evil.
