About Hakon Bleken

  • Biography

    Håkon Bleken is a Norwegian painter born in Trondheim in 1929. He is still active at the age of 93 and has constantly new exhibitions.

    Bleken has established himself as one of Norway's most central contemporary artists, and is known for his fearless and fresh approach to art and opinions. Unlike other Norwegian artists, who often take nature as their starting point, Bleken finds more inspiration and motifs in the city, particularly in his hometown of Trondheim, which appears as a backdrop in many of his paintings.

    The figures in his paintings often seem separated from each other, and two of them in the picture described in the text are ghostly like deaths.
