Johannes Holt IversenJohannes Holt Iversen (b.1989) is a Danish painter and sculptor currently located in
Amsterdam, Netherlands. He is an apprentice of Danish painter and sculptor Erik Rytter
(former assistant of Poul Gernes). Holt Iverson focuses on exploring the tension between
artificial and organic material and life forms and works with both traditional art forms and
cutting-edge technology including AI, to imbue his viewers with an existential awareness of the
hyper-slick representation of reality that surrounds them. His works can be abstract at times,
but are always related to the real-world counterpart, often appearing from the use of high-tech
materials; used in other industries such as retroreflection technology from the aviation
industry, functional aesthetics from industrial plastic construction and chrome pigments from
the car manufacturing industry. Iversen draws on inspirations in various fields; whether it be
historical elements, like the early depictions from the Lascaux caves or other inspirations that
comes from the fields of sociology, psychology, scientific methodologies and pop culture; all
with a common denominator in using, dissecting and understanding symbols, relics and human
selfrepresentation; such as the anthropromorphic qualities certain objects contains.
