Iben Kielberg loves colours and patterns. She masters the combination of the warm lively glass and sand blast decorations on the surface. The motives often come from nature and can be anything from beetles to butterflies.

Iben has worked at several glass studios, Peter Svarrer glass studio, and from 1996–2008 she had been running the Glasværkstedet in Ebeltoft together with glass artist, Søren Ringgård. Iben has exhibited at numerous art associoations and at Charlottenborg (Spring-and Autumn exhibitions), the Danish Museum of Art and Design, and the Ebeltoft Museum of Glass. www.glasnettet.dk/

Portrait - Exhibition October 2008

Ann Linnemann
Portrait

The Ann Linnemann studio gallery in Copenhagen is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The exhibition shows sculptural 'portraits' that were made in Denmark by Ann Linnemann. These works were inspired by journeys abroad and international studio residencies during the past ten years.

In 1998, Linnemann established the gallery and studio in Nyboder, Copenhagen. Later that year, she was awarded the three year stipend by the Statens Kunstfond (Danish National Arts Foundation).

The exhibition - Portrait
The theme of this solo exhibition is the 'human'; abstract forms of the body drawing from cultural traditions within ceramics; the 'Tang' glaze, wood fired surfaces, pure porcelain, ceramic prints (made by the British artist, Paul Scott).
The focus is the various connecting points between the individual pieces, the history of ceramics and the meeting of opposites.

The exhibition is partly retrospective. The selected early pieces are composed with new pieces. They work together to tell a different story about dualism, interaction and the 'contrary' to form a new dialogue.

The exhibition shows Ann Linnemann’s ten years of artistic and technical development as well as her exploration of culture, form and material.

The memories and cultural stories are set into play by the linked 'body portraits'. These portraits may speak to the viewer about their own personal presence, their experience, senses, illusions and visions.

Sten Lykke Madsen - March/April 2008

Sten Lykke Madsen
Exhibition March 1 - April 26 2008

Adventurous fabel figures with humor poetry and storytelling
Fancyful - Fabulous - Fascinating - Felicitous - Fabulating

The Fanciful Ceramist by Ole Lindboe, Editor of Art
There are ceramists and there are ceramists and then there is Sten Lykke Madsen. More than any other, he embodies the fanciful in Danish ceramics. In his universe the imagination is on a continuous voyage of discovery, and rationality has been relegated to the stuffy office where it belongs.
Sten Lykke Madsen tells stories as if drawing from an inexhaustible source of whimsical, humorous and bizarre visions. Anything is possible in his fantastic universe where nothing is what it seems. Fish, frogs, small lizards and other strange but benign mutants tumble about as if they were a kind of people.
These beings are indubitably sweet but make no mistake: They may bare their teeth, revealing dangerous depths. You might feel somewhat ill at ease upon meeting his creatures and their fickle natures. Imagine turning your back on them for a minute: What might they do?
Transformation is a keyword for the ceramist’s universe. Believe it or not, we live in a world that is both magical and realistic at the same time. The magic cancels the realistic. Or extends it. The magical causes us to question conventions. And everybody is something in someone else’s narrative. Altogether we are always included in other people’s stories. And maybe we are also all part of God’s great narrative?
Sten Lykke Madsen is blessed with a both simpleminded and refined sense of the wonder of life. In his perspective even the most mundane objects are imbued with magical forms. A kettle, a washboard and an iron (and their basic forms) can appear side by side with the strangest lizard creatures. Everything is stirred together in the wizard’s kindly cauldron where mythology and the everyday form a synthesis.
His deeply original sense of form has a touch of cubism. The world is lightly twisted. It is turned upside-down. Cracks to the subconscious are opened, but please refrain from interpreting Sten Lykke Madsen’s universe to death. He has an almost childish aversion to heavy-handed interpretations and theoretical explications attempting to schematise his art. It resists that. It is sufficiently anarchistic in a beautiful and subtly witty manner.
There is no doubt that Sten Lykke Madsen is one of our great artists in his special field. The false dichotomy between art and crafts loses all meaning when you visit his world. His art is a happy marriage between the curious and the general. It is freewheeling fancy.
When encountering the artist for the first time you cannot help deliberating whether he is really of this world. Might he not be a pixie later in the evening to return to his knoll somewhere in the woods? It seems credible that he is an envoy sent to our world to spread fables and fantasies.
His approach to his art is the same deliberately naïve one found in Henry Heerup. And Sten Lykke has retained his childhood’s ability to wonder. He can go off into a reverie. He can be surprised and he can be amused.
He is a watcher who always looks again, pondering the details, always spotting the small in the great – and the great in the small. And he just can’t help inventing over the things he experiences in his inner world, as well as the outer one (and every time we see his works, invariably we think: What is the difference?).
O, to once again encounter his stories for the first time!
