Lene has a background as a painter, but for the past 10-12 years, she has focused on drawing. This has been a form of expression she has used her entire life, since childhood.

The themes are many, but her works often contain an ironic touch.

Due to her current work at a psychiatric hospital, she is also interested in the darker sides of the human mind, i.e., the feelings, thoughts, and actions that we do not want to acknowledge, such as shame, envy, fear, jealousy, or hatred.

Her works are meant as a basis for dialogue, interpretation, and immersion. Everything depends on the viewer!

Anne writes about herself:

My paintings are stories that unfold in oil on canvas, or in graphic works created using the cyanotype technique. I work in many thin layers, which also reflect the people who appear in the stories. It is precisely people with many layers that interest me. People who have made life choices from the heart and not with reason. I call them “The lucky people,” lucky not because they win the lottery or were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but because they have found their talent and had the courage to live it out, and because they represent a world that is invisible to many.

The nature that surrounds me in the forest where we live plays a significant role in my paintings. It can be found in the colors, the perspective, or in the background itself. I was originally trained as an old-fashioned printmaker from the Printing Academy and Aarhus Academy of Fine Arts, but first out of necessity and later out of passion, colorful oil painting became my preferred medium.

However, in the last three years, I have returned to the graphic expression. Here, the stories come to life with the cyanotype technique, mixed with ink, watercolor, and toner baths. It is like coming home from a long journey with a backpack full of experiences that need to be turned and twisted to make sense to outsiders, and it is a good and exciting process.

I have my workshop and gallery in Ry, in Pakhuset in the old train station building. I create the cyanotypes at home in the forest in Sdr. Vissing in an old trailer.

From play to seriousness, that’s how briefly it can be described. The workshop is my playground, where ideas and thoughts create the foundation for playing with clay. The ideas often come from the borderland, between dream and reality.

I am inspired by what happens around me. It is a constant battle between the clay and me.

Judge for yourself who has won the battle.

David Dellagi’s practice aims at creating a kaleidoscopic and three-dimensional abstract universe, exploring the notion of dynamism on the canvas. In his latest works, this approach unfolds fully, as colorful polygons seem to be hurling through space, and asymmetrical patterns of color and light open up different spatial perspectives coexisting in one and the same painting.

Using cut-outs of photographic material, each painting starts out as a paper collage, allowing for a layered visual multiverse of references hidden inside the paintings. The collage is then manipulated digitally and painted onto the canvas. With their use of hard-edge geometric color fields, the paintings have much in common with concrete abstract art. Dellagi seeks to fuse this aesthetic with the three-dimensional and kaleidoscopic sensibility of early 20th-century art movements, such as Futurism and Cubism.
