The painter Troels Wörsel (b. 1950) will be the official Danish representative at the Venice Biennial 2007. The biennial in Venice is regarded as the most important international biennial of contemporary art in the world and takes place in the summer of 2007, where Troels Wörsel will exhibit in the Danish Pavilion. It is the Committee for International Art under the Danish Arts Agency that has nominated Troels Wörsel.
The nomination includes the following statement:

“Wörsel’s contribution to painting is beyond any doubt and appears in recent years more painterly and distinctly singular than ever – also in relation to his contemporaries. He is in many ways unique within Danish visual art, and it is the view of the Committee for International Visual Art that Wörsel’s participation in Venice will result in a remarkable and intelligent contribution to painting at a time when the international scene can be said to focus intensely on this medium.”
