Andersen in 2013

Morten Andersen (born 1976 in Aalborg, Denmark) is a contemporary artist with his own style developed through graffiti to "geometric expressionism" with reflections from cubism and futurism. Andersen is a representative of the new "Urban art" and paints complicated geometric patterns entirely expressed with lines stretched, coloured, and angled with urban energies of his own creation. Andersen has educated himself through travels to Vietnam, China, France, Spain, Egypt and the US. He has exhibited throughout Europe, in the United States and Abu Dhabi. In 2011 French Graffiti Art Magazine called him a prominent member of the one hundred contemporary artists to look out for. [1]
