Bjørn Magnussen

Bjørn Magnussen is a self-taught Danish artist working across painting, stone sculpture and large-scale public commissions. He describes his method as an "Intuition Revolution": a refusal to work from sketches, developed in part through living with ADHD and Tourette's syndrome, that prioritises instinct and bodily feeling over advance planning. He draws two or three times a day, treating those drawings not as studies but as finished miniature works in their own right.

His practice deliberately moves between the folkelige and the rarefied: a mural at Nørrebro Bycenter and a project at the restaurant Uformel in Copenhagen sit alongside institutional exhibitions. He was awarded the Carl Nielsen og Anne Marie Carl-Nielsens Legat Talent Prize in 2024. His solo exhibition Åbent for alt ran at Holmegaard Værk (2023 to 2024), and in 2026 he curated Intuition Revolution at Sophienholm, Kgs. Lyngby, bringing together artists including Inge Bjørn, Maria Koshenkova, Astrid Seberg, Anna Milman, Tim Bertram, Julius Iversen and Jacob Sej.
