About Lavrans Borgen
Lavrans Borgen (b. 2003) is a Norwegian contemporary artist based in Drammen. His paintings are recognizable by warm color fields cut by decisive black and white lines — the graphic meeting the organic. He draws motifs from family, human connection and everyday scenes.
At the age of 19, he sold out his first solo exhibition in Oslo. Since then, he has received recognition from both national and international audiences. Today, his works are represented in the collections of Norsk Tipping, Fremtind Insurance, and Kristiania University of Applied Sciences. He has also presented solo exhibitions at Bergen Contemporary, Soli Brug in Sarpsborg, and Khåk Kunsthall in Ålesund.
