LONE MØRKØRE

Lone is inspired by the Faroe Islands and the fantastic landscape, where the small colorful houses are scattered in the magnificent nature.


The Faroese-inspired paintings show all sides of the North Atlantic islands, and Secession shows what might happen if the Faroe Islands choose to secede from Denmark and become a free-floating island where life is lived without today’s overconsumption.

RITHVA LANDLER

Visual artist & everyday poet. Recycled art & classic art.
Everything visual, no limitations, 30 years of experience.
Redemption of an inner movement. Set aside the sound of consciousness in tones of color.The art is developed and produced depending on context - based on specific research. Knowledge build-up, experiences and realizations are written down. The reflection goes through the poetic universe and helps me maintain focus. Technique is chosen based on material. Curiosity about life drives me.

ANNE-METTE LORENZEN

My starting point is always the blank white canvas that gets a basic color. It is mostly a dark base color to create depth later on. Sometimes the base color is not visible at all on the finished work. I always paint with the canvas lying flat. I often paint on two canvases at the same time.

One with motif, the other with excess color from the same palette. It gives me an idea of what colors can do together and against each other. I always have music on when I paint. I have worked with both brush and trowel, and have since started using the palm and fingertips. I am trained in visual arts and have a bachelor’s degree in art history from the University of Copenhagen and am the founder of OMG - One More Gallery

JØRGEN SKOU
