Søren Behncke (born 1967, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen.
Søren Behncke works with cardboard and objects found in the streets and transforms the lost and discarded from pop culture into paintings, sculptures and streetactions. In Denmark, Behncke is also known under the alias 'Papfar' due to the spectacular happenings and stagings of cardboard sculptures in the public space. Over the years Behncke has developed and refined his own vocabulary of shapes. He refers to this study and development of shapes as "shape rhymes" which makes up a distinct visual alphabet. A way of seeing and communicating the world beyond verbal or written language. Objects from other artists’ studios and paintings are appropriated - a door and a cloth from Van Gogh’s studio in Arles, a birdcage from Matisse in Nice, a pitcher and a stack of china from Le Corbusier’s studio kitchen, a lamp from Fernand Léger’s Académie Moderne in Paris, the wonderful outsider James Castle’s moldy old hat and a car from Claes Oldenburg. Stylistically the shape alphabet bears little resemblance to the artists that influenced it and still there is a strong element of lineage.
Behncke has previously mounted solo exhibitions at Heerup Museum, Denmark (2021). Museum Jorn, Denmark (2019), The Art Museum Brundlund Slot (2018), Denmark, and ARoS, Denmark (2008), who has built an in-depth collection of his work over the past 12 years, most recently acquiring the painting L’Atelier De Mondrian. Major group exhibitions include JF Willumsens Museum, Denmark (2017), Arken Museum of Modern Art, Denmark (2015), and KØS Museum of Art in Public Spaces, Denmark (2013). He has travelled the world to make limited edition lithographic prints on-site with the Mobile Printing Press in Albissola, Arles, Vienna, Paris, Madrid, Helsinki, Venice, Reykjavik, and Warszawa. His temporary public sculptures and actions have been seen in New York, Copenhagen, Venice, Paris, and along Danish highways.
