Klaus Bentin and Søren Rasmussen, owners of Château de Gué aux Biches, in partnership with the gallerist Henrik Dencker from Art Gallery Dencker+Schneider in Berlin, are organizing an artists' residence and contemporary art exhibition in September in Bagnoles de l’Orne, Normandy.

This exhibition will showcase artworks created on-site and other pieces coming directly from Denmark. Six Danish artists have been invited to work and exhibit at Château du Gué aux Biches. The exhibition will also be extended to the Animation and Congress Center (Salle du Roi Arthur) and the Tourist Office.

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.

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.

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

Paintings and Mixed Media Inspiration Jette Dodensig creates her works with a brush or trowel or, sometimes, with something else entirely. Layer upon layer with different techniques, fantasies take shape on the canvas with inspiration from nature, music or experiences.
