JØRGEN HAUGEN SØRENSEN

PLATTER

For over six decades, Jørgen Haugen Sørensen

has enriched museums, public spaces and private

collectors with his expressive sculptures and

he is still highly active on the art scene today. A

master of crafts, the Danish sculptor alternates

between the naturalistic and a freer abstract

expression, working with clay, bronze, granite,

marble and other materials. He has a profound

interest in literature and politics, and is known to

speak his mind liberally to Danish art institutions

and authorities, advocating on behalf of the free

expression of art.

Haugen Sørensen was born in 1934 in Copenhagen,

Denmark. He is primarily an autodidact, having

trained as a ceramist from age 15, but then

going on to advance his skills on his own. At the

age of 19, he exhibited three sculptures at the

Charlottenborg Exhibition Hall in Copenhagen,

marking the beginning of his long career, across

which he has worked in Paris, Verona and Tuscany,

among other places. His latest solo exhibitions

include ‘The Innocent Guilty’ at the Hans Alf

Gallery in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2018 and ’The

Crowd’ at Pietrasanta in Italy in 2017.
