Painting

Johnny Madsen has been painting for many years, mostly inspired by expressionism and has mentioned Vincent van Gogh and Jens Søndergaard as inspirations. Madsen has exhibited in numerous galleries and at many events across Denmark and selected paintings are on permanent display at his art gallery on Fanø. In 2007, he published the book "Hvorom alting er", discussing the artistic process as he sees it, and showing a few of his own works.
