Frank Hammershøj was born in 1940 in Assens, Denmark. He began as a student at Christrups Bookshop in Odense, before dedicating his professional life to painting. By 1960, when Hammershøj was just twenty years old, his work had been the feature of a solo exhibition. He went on to join the artists’ group Germinalen, and later Kontrast. Hammershøj’s work went on to feature internationally, as demonstrated by the mural he painted in Jurbakas, Lithuania.

Abstract elements here are layered on top of each other, contrasting light and dark, cool and warm tones. Like the other piece by Hammershøj at CHASE & SORENSEN, even though the piece is abstracted, the central focus is the tree-like form on the left. Nature is a theme that Hammershøj explores in a multitude of ways, both in more explicit, less figurative pieces, and in more impressionistic, subjective ones, such as in this painting.
