PAINTINGS

The work develops through sustained material investigations, with painting as its ground and other processes emerging from it.

Maybe we are looking into ourselves and into those structures which support us, although we are blind to them and unfamiliar with them. Maybe we are looking at our own form. And finally we sense that we are right in the middle of the primeval soup, in an ecstasy of matter, energy and chaotic information, where many things are possible in the mystery of creation, where an entity, be it a cell or an organism or the observer oneself, is formed spontaneously out of a seeming confusion of pulsating energy.

    Panorama / Mai Misfeldt

    From One Springs the Other / Helene Johanne Christensen

    It is from the arrangement of lines and the relation between colours, shapes, surfaces and layers, from the tension between foreground and background, vertical and horizontal, boundaries and infinity, that the moods and meanings arise in the works.
