Ari Mikael Behn (born on September 30, 1972) is a Norwegian writer, actor, and artist. He was born in Aarhus, Denmark, and primarily grew up in Moss, Norway, where his parents moved when he was six years old. He is the eldest child of Olav Bjørshol (born in 1952) and Marianne Rafaela Solberg (born in 1953).
Behn's original surname was Bjørshol. In 1996, he changed his name to Ari Behn, adopting his maternal grandmother's maiden name. The name Behn is of German origin. He has two younger siblings: Anja Sabrina and Espen, neither of whom use the name Behn. Ari attended the Waldorf school in Moss and holds a Bachelor's degree in History and Religion from the University of Oslo.
His works are abstract, sometimes dark, and impressively expressive. Figurative representations and strong, predominantly dark colors are typical of his paintings. He plays with the harmony and disharmony of tones, making his artworks particularly memorable.
He married Princess Märtha Louise in 2002. The marriage ended in divorce in 2016. In the spring of 2011, Behn made his debut as a playwright with his piece "Treningstimen" at the Rogaland Theater, directed by Kim Sørensen. Additionally, Ari Behn was involved in various art projects, such as the artistic design of porcelain for Magnor Glassverk. He also served as a model for a clothing chain. Behn appeared alongside the well-known photographer Per Heimly as a producer of several critical documentary films about his travels to exotic locations worldwide, questioning serious topics such as the discovery of oil and oil production in Canada.
Ari Behn passed away on December 25, 2019, in his Norwegian hometown of Lommedalen by suicide.
