I am Jørn O.H. Bork, nordic sculptor and painter, born in Denmark 1949.
For 26 years i have lived in two small sealer-communities in Greenland named Attu on the west coast and Ittoqqortoormiit (Scoresbysund) on the east coast.
My art is mainly inspired by inuit myths and legends. I do oilpaintings, crayon drawings and sculptures made of different kinds of stone, wood, animal tooth and bones. I have had several exhibitions at international acknowledged galleries in Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark, I am a member of the Danish Art Society.
Some of my productions were bought by the Danish
State Foundation of Art and the Goverment of Greenland.
