Christian Estrup's raw, patinated paintings bring the elements of nature and the authentic West Coast atmosphere into the home.
The local artist, born in Skagen, opened his atelier and studio in Knudsen’s old fishing tackle shop at Æ Tysk’havn in Hvide Sande in 2020, and has since used the space as a fascinating backdrop for his creative work.
Christian Estrup builds his surfaces and images using all kinds of readily available materials, and continuously distresses and oxidizes them with mechanical impact, chemicals, and fire.
He describes himself as equal parts alchemist and artist, always deeply fascinated by the fact that we humans, too, live on borrowed time: materials are constantly changing, and surfaces reveal deeper layers.
Studio Christian Estrup is open by appointment and whenever the flag is out.
