Simon Sebastian (b. 1996, lives and works in Bergen, Norway)

Untitled, 2002. Unsigned. Silk paper, print, oil, and ship lacquer. Sheet size 102×77 cm.

The Danish artist Simon Sebastian (b. 1996) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He holds a BFA from The Art Academy – Department of Contemporary Art, University of Bergen, and The National School of Art of Paris-Cergy. Driven by the transformative power of relocating objects to new contexts, Simon Sebastian describes himself as a “hoarder” of the city's identity and symbols. His artistic practice goes beyond conventional boundaries; he is not merely an artist but also a collector. Through his artworks, he crafts abstractions that both directly and indirectly refer to and integrate elements collected from the city's architecture, cultural history, and urban structure. This approach, refined over several years, involves placing figures, representations, and symbols into dialogue with the external world, creating a mutual exchange where stolen elements are reborn bearing new perspectives. Objects including fences, posters, poster columns, and city gates, mixed with materials such as plaster, tin, oil, and acrylic paint, provide inspiration for playful, vibrant time- images.
