“In Canuto Kallan’s works, the joy of creation comes to life through his spontaneity, imagination, and the free and improvisational way in which he handles the medium. His experimentations with colour and the way he feverishly applies it result in an intensity that extends far beyond the paintings’ surface. The simplicity of his figures lends them liveliness and a rhythm which excites the viewers’ eyes into a constant state of alertness and keeps their interest intact.<\/p>\n

Canuto Kallan was born in 1960 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Before studying at the Athens School of Fine Arts, he graduated from the Technical College of Copenhagen as a cabinet maker and was awarded the Silver Medal for Woodworking by the Queen of Denmark.
