Erling Steen is a leading artist in Danish contemporary realism. He was born in 1945 in Copenhagen and made his debut at selected exhibitions in the early seventies when the world-wide revival of representational painting hit Denmark.

A majority of his paintings are still-lifes executed in an eyecatching illusionistic style apparently influenced by the classical realism of seventeenth centrury Dutch and Spanish painting.

All I do is concern myself with "form" like the cubists; only all the objects in my paintings are in their right places acording to the laws of gravity and I use the resin-oil medium as it was originally intended to be used.
