John Kørner is a leading contemporary Danish artist known for expressionistic, brightly washed canvases that confront pressing geopolitical and moral dilemmas, such as the war in Afghanistan, industrial prostitution, and climate catastrophe. Developing a personalized conceptual vocabulary of abstract yellow ovals termed 'problems', Kørner integrates social realism with spontaneous, chromatic brushwork.
