Odd Nerdrum, born in 1944 in Halsingborg (Sweden), studied at the Academy of Art in Oslo and later with the conceptual artist Joseph Beuys in Dusseldorf (Germany), and since the beginning developed a unique painting style with a clear influence of painters like Rembrandt and Caravaggio, fleeing abstraction and conceptual art popular in the academic environment.

Odd Nerdrum, founder of the movement "Kitsch" in painting, focuses on small still life painting depicting a single image, like a baby or a brick, and in portraits and self-portraits, usually without background, characters dressed in skins and mantles They symbolize what remains after an imaginary apocalypse, as well as large allegorical works of apocalyptic nature.
