Per Anders, Denmark

Oil, Acrylic on Canvas

This painting shows more or less my surroundings where I live at the southern edge of Denmark. The Baltic Ocean (or more correctly the fjord called Flensburg Fjord where Denmark is situated on the north side and Germany is situated on the other side, about 2 miles away) is right outside my windows and sailing is a part of my DNA. The combination of the 'blue water' and the sailboats define what is home to me! More on this painting

Laura Phillips "Laurie" Anderson (born June 5, 1947) is an American avant-garde artist, composer, musician and film director whose work spans performance art, pop music, and multimedia projects. Initially trained in violin and sculpting, Anderson pursued a variety of performance art projects in New York during the 1970s, focusing particularly on language, technology, and visual imagery. She became more widely known outside the art world when her single "O Superman" reached number two on the UK pop charts in 1981. She also starred in and directed the 1986 concert film Home of the Brave.

Anderson is a pioneer in electronic music and has invented several devices that she has used in her recordings and performance art shows. In 1977, she created a tape-bow violin that uses recorded magnetic tape on the bow instead of horsehair and a magnetic tape head in the bridge. In the late 1990s, she developed a talking stick, a six-foot (1.8 m) long baton-like MIDI controller that can access and replicate sounds. 


Anderson met Lou Reed in 1992, and was married to him from 2008 until his death in 2013. More on Laurie Anderson
