Bio
Anders SCRMN Meisner is interested in the language of shared symbolism and the emotional
resonance of objects. His paintings blend references from art history with fleeting impressions
and personal memories to create a complicated sense of recognition – the scenes feel familiar,
but we can’t quite grasp the full picture. The flat, graphic style of the imagery speaks to this
familiarity while the Pointillist-inspired detailing evokes the sense of something transient or
flickering, drifting in and out of focus like a half-remembered dream.
Each painting emerges from a line jotted down in Meisner’s notebooks. These fragments later
become the titles, painted up the sidebar of his completed canvases, so that we encounter each
scene from two perspectives: first as a purely visual image and then through a written prompt
that offers a clue into the story he is imagining. Often rooted in sensory experiences or moments
of connection, these stories return repeatedly to the natural world – to gardens, light, seasons and
cultivated landscapes – evoking beauty, nostalgia and wonder while also reflecting on ideas of
privilege, order and control. At the same time, a subtle, tongue-in-cheek humour runs through his
practice: an awareness of stereotype and sentimentality that prevents the work from slipping into
romanticism.
This sensitivity to atmosphere and environment is shaped in part by the artist’s travels. Based in
Copenhagen, Meisner spent his twenties living in Seville and Amsterdam, and the cities
continues to inform his visual language. Its decorative ceramic tiles, palm trees and religious
iconography, along with the distinct light and rhythms of southern Spain, resonate in his vivid
palettes and sun-drenched compositions. He still returns regularly, exchanging Scandinavian
winters for Andalusian warmth – a cyclical migration that echoes the seasonal shifts running
through his work.
Meisner’s work has been exhibited at national and international art fairs and institutions, and
galleries including The Pit, Los Angeles, Isabel Sullivan Gallery, New York, Kristin Hjellegjerde,
London/Miami/Berlin, Hans Alf Gallery, Copenhagen and Koldinghus Museum in Denmark,
Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Saatchi Gallery and various art fairs.
