ELSEBETH NORRIE: EVENING FIELDS
Watercolor, 30 x 40 cm, 2005
Elsebeth Norrie's landscape paintings are extremely
detailed and at the same time strangely unreal. Each blade of grass
is painted with incredibly precise brush strokes. The faded dandelions,
she painted as a reminder of impermanence, in the midst of the green
spring. The painting "Evening Fields" shows the long shadows
at the end of day and has been inspiring the title of the exhibition.

CAMILLA RASBORG: SEDIMENT #8
Residual water from watercolor on paper, 39 x 36 cm, 2016
Camilla Rasborg works with discarded objects and materials, and
traces of their impermanence. A withered flower from last summer
has become a beautiful, poetic work, like the muddy sediments in
the glass of water, used for rinsing the watercolor brush. These
objects evoke an echoe of abandon, of impermanence and of freedom.
Freedom because they no longer have value to others.

ANNE SKOLE OVERGAARD: HOUSE
Drypoint, 20 x 40 cm, 2016
Anne Skole Overgaard describes a landscape from Northern
Italy in a series of drypoint engravings. The images shows a field
of corn sprouts - and the withered corn stalks after the harvest,
which may remind of impermanence. A farmhouse, which has also seen
better days, is represented down to each crumbled brick. The beauty
of the sun-drenched Italian landscape has a darker atmosphere in
these intaglio prints.

SONJA LILLEBÆK CHRISTENSEN: CARRIER OF THE DEAD FOR THE REALM
OF DEATH
Watercolor, 46 x 54 cm, 2016
Sonja Lillebæk Christensen paints an everyday situation,
reminiscent of the transition to the realm of death. In her gouache
two men are going for a walk with a small black poodle. They pass
over a footbridge and are about to disappear from sight, just the
crows and the trees will be left behind. The everyday scene contains
a subtle symbolism, where the bridge becomes the passage to the
realm of death and the crows are left sitting as messengers from
the other side.

METTE JUUL: TAMARAS MOTHER
Inkjet print, 26 x 36 cm, 2016
Mette Juul catches a glimpse of the lives of others
with her camera, so you both become curious and seized by the strange
atmosphere in the photographs. A lady is digging late at night with
a spade. She is planting the bulbs that she just recieved from her
sister who just came to visit from the countryside. It is one of
the few plants that remaining from their deceased parents' house.
In Mette Juul's photographs you sense that something special is
going on.
