Morten Buch: The Last Resort

Morten Buch (born 1970) is part of a new generation of Scandinavian painters that link the legacy of Danish Expressionism to the cool restraint of formal American Minimalism. His portrayal of everyday objects—pipes, mattresses, vases—recalls the cartoon lumpishness of Philip Guston, but is executed in cleaner strokes, and frequently against a bright, cream-white backdrop.
