Rasmus Nilausen is a Danish born Barcelona based painter. He studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design in London and at the Faculty of Fine Art in Barcelona where he now teaches painting, as well as in BAU. He was also part of the one year residency programme at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, The Netherlands. His interest in painting is based on personal mythologies and the history of Art that he reconfigures in a novel way into new meanings and narratives. He will often use a painterly vocabulary of metonyms, as well as applying typographical elements and texts on the canvases. His work has been shown internationally at galleries and art fairs in addition to institutions like the ICA–Institute of Contemporary Art in London and at Tranen and OVERGADEN in Copenhagen, as well as at MACBA, La Capella, Antoni Tàpies Foundation, and the Suñol Foundation in Barcelona. CentroCentro in Madrid and the Museo Patio Herreriano Valladolid have also exhibited his paintings and installations in recent years.
