Born in 1967, the Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson is internationally recognised for his multi-sensory interventions that combine scientific phenomena and environmental issues.

Biography

Combining light in different colours with geometric shapes and reflective surfaces, his giant installations engage the viewer in fascinating new experiences and perceptions. They merge natural phenomena with pure artifice, from the electric sun at Tate Modern in London (2003) to the glass rainbow at the Aros Aarhus Kunstmuseum in Denmark (2006-2011). His works lead us to question our perceptions and tap into our sensory memory.
