Artistic career

Andersen began developing his "geometric expressionism" style while still a child graffitiing on buildings in Aalborg in the 1990s. He found himself "too bound by rules and boundaries" and turned instead to acrylic and spray paints on canvas. His style is also informed by cubism and futurism. He draws inspiration from abstract artists Per Kirkeby, Asger Jorn, Ib Geertsen and Kai Führer, as well as the COBRA movement. He is not a classically trained painter but learned about art during his travels to Vietnam, China, France, Spain, Egypt and the US.
In 2011, French magazine Graffiti Art included him in their annual list of one hundred contemporary artists to watch.
