Career
Born in Roskilde, Boberg was a self-taught artist. When in Paris in the mid-1960s, he became acquainted with Surrealistic painting which he interpreted in his own style. Boberg was a leading representative of Danish Surrealism, creating both figure paintings and landscapes with a high level of technical perfection.
Towards the end of the 1980s, Boberg created strongly coloured paintings in a collage-like style combining pieces of food with pornography.
He went on to depict a series of sensuous situations with photographic realism as a starting point, producing images combining engineering drawing with painting while addressing the tension between art and life. In 2000, Boberg painted the portrait of Queen Margrethe.
Boberg lived in Pietrasanta in Italy for almost 30 years before returning to Denmark. He died in Odsherred in August 2009 after a long illness.
