Danish artist Mads Rafte Hein (b. 1977) paints lavish historically inspired interiors rendered in a uniquely uplifting palette of pastel pinks, yellows, greens and purples. His newly made lithographs, Morning and Into Something, were made in collaboration with renowned lithographic workshop Atelier Clot in Paris.

 

 

Canadian artist Melanie Daniel (b. 1972) uses detail, texture and symbolism to remind us of the fragile state of our planet. Plants, animals, blue skies and rolling fields take center stage in her canvases, while humans blend into the many different textures to the point of being invisible – just like in real life we ought to sometimes take a step back and let nature rule.

 

Danish artist Mazja Hillestrøm (b. 1976) uses photographic composition to capture the splendor of nature. By waiting until the shadows are just right and carefully composing her shots, she captures the landscapes of countries around the world at their most quintessential. Humans are present only as disruptive traces, a broken car left behind or an electric fence dividing an otherwise pristine landscape.

 

Born in 1982, Danish artist Krista Rosenkilde’s artistic universe is defined by geometric shapes, bold colors and feminine symbolism. Reminiscent of classic 1970s illustrations like those of famous Danish ceramicist Bjørn Wiinblad, her shape language radiates a happy and calming energy.

 

 

American artist Jason Jägel (b. 1971) explores the connection between 2D and 3D in his graphic works. Feeling bogged down by pre-planning and overly defined concepts, he tries to bring the spontaneity of sketchbooks, doodles and drawings from notebook margins to his large pieces.

 

 

Danish Adam Saks (b. 1974) experiments with the border between abstraction and figuration, sampling figurative elements and integrating them into new contexts in his paintings. He works with both painting and graphical works, inspired by the practices of artists like Asger Jorn and Edvard Munch. 

 

Feel the air of innovation and creativity at our annual summer group exhibition where you can experience the latest and greatest in contemporary painting, sculpture and installation from all over the world! 36 talented up-and-coming and established artists will be exhibiting their work, making this a must-see exhibition for anyone wanting to be up to speed with the art world.

Many young and up-and-coming artists see it as their outmost duty to fight for a more environmentally friendly world, and one of the most prominent tendencies in contemporary art is the use of sustainable materials to make art. At Galleri Christoffer Egelund we have a curated selection of the best that sustainable art has to offer – find it on our webshop in the Upcycled Art section!

 

 

Among our talented artists with a sustainable practice is French Marc Sparfel (1972). Sparfel works with scrap wood that has been abandoned in the streets around his home in Barcelona, fashioning it into astonishing abstract sculptures made up of geometric shapes reminiscent of Cubism.

 

 

 

 

Dela Anyah (b. in Ghana, 1986) uses discarded car and bicycle tires from repair shops around Ghana to create his mesmerizing installations, creating objects of haunting beauty where before there was only worthless waste littering the Ghanian landscape. 

 

We are proud to represent the amazing and internationally renowned Arinze Stanley (b. 1993, Nigeria), in whose hands the humblest art material of all, the pencil, creates astonishing and awe-inspiring works as good as if not better than any oil painting. Portraying Black individuals expressing the feelings that accompany the Black experience, his portraits, which are monumental in size (often more than 1.5 meters tall), are mesmerizing displays of skill and soulfulness.
