In the garden door. The artist's wife. Karrebæksminde.
After L. A. Ring

Pencil on paper 191 x 144 cm
2012

The drawing was exhibited at the groupshow
"I", Aarhus Art Building
and "Summer", the exhibition space Sydhavn Station.

With pencil I have copied the painting by L. A. Ring "In the garden door. The artist's wife. Karrebæksminde." from 1897.

By copying the painting today, I play with ideas of gender and how works often are interpreted with the artist's life as starting point.

This discussion was also raised by the original, because the artist's wife looks pregnant in the painting, but their first child was born 2 years later.

L. A. Ring often painted humans on the edge between two rooms and two states.
