Sergej Jensen expressed that his work was “painting without paint”.
Known for working with an assortment of found and altered fabrics, his textile works can include wool, cashmere, silk, burlap and hand-knitted swatches, that have been glued, bleached, painted, sewed and stretched in methods that play with the idiosyncrasies of the material. Jensen’s art works often incorporate a muted palette and gestural marks that combine the representational and the abstract.
