The Art Style – A Fusion of Architecture and Cubism

Ina explores her artistic practice through a cubist and architectural lens, creating paintings built from complex geometric shapes. Her approach includes a dynamic shift between two- and three-dimensional perspectives, adding depth and dimension to her works.

The core of Ina’s artistic vision is to construct visual compositions that are both engaging and thought-provoking. She harmonizes various elements, such as colors, shapes, and structures, to create a whole that fascinates and invites reflection. Inspired by the aesthetics of cubism and architecture, Ina has developed a unique and distinctive style over the years that stands out in the modern art world.

Often, Ina works in series, incorporating elements from previous works, creating a thread and a sense of progression throughout her portfolio. Her paintings can generally be understood as imaginary viewpoints from or within the home, serving as a tribute to joy and positivity. With the intention of expressing feelings and thoughts in an original and visually captivating way, she strives to enrich the viewer and leave a lasting impression.

Henrik Glahn Sculptures

Inspiration for the sculptures is the field of tension between figure and form. Or form follows figure. Where figure may be fragments of body parts or other known expressions, form will contribute with the abstract expression. Composition of figure and form creates an intuitive understanding, some say spiritual dimension, that stimulates and invites immersion into the inner personal world.

Technically, the basic material is concrete. Concrete is easily degradable in nature and at the same time has a texture that appeals in a more raw and unrefined direction. Or in other words to the imperfect. And the imperfect is an important part of my understanding of the world and its diversity. The imperfect aspect is a relief and can create more inner freedom and inner space.

In addition to the above, concrete also has the quality of being weatherproof with the right surface treatment. All sculptures can therefore be used both indoors and outdoors (frost-proof).

About me

I have lived a life within design, architecture and art, many years as owner and creative director of a Danish Design company. Apart from doing design and art I have also been a small scale collector and a visitor to many of the major art event and exhibitions in the world.

I live just outside of Copenhagen with my wife. We have two grown up kids.

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.
