Born in Roskilde, Boberg was a self-taught artist. After first exhibiting at the Artists Autumn Exhibition (Kunstneres Efterårsudstilling) in 1962, he was associated with Copenhagen's Galleri Passepartout and became a founding member of the Passepartout artists association in 1964. 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. From 1973, he was a member of Grønningen.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3] His son Thomas is a successful poet and travel writer.[5]
