Kristian Vodder Svensson
NOW
15.08 - 18.09
After two years, Kristian Vodder Svensson is back in Gallery NB with a new exhibition.
The title NOW covers several layers, as he, like so many others, is also affected by the Covid-19 problem. More than that, the exhibition is a journey into his personal universe, and thus his statement about where he is artistically at the moment.
Six handmade original lithographs made in very small editions have been created at Fyns Grafiske Værksted over the summer. Together with his latest paintings, they form the framework for Kristian Vodder Svensson's unique universe.
Kristian Vodder Svensson graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. Subsequently, he worked in the spirit of the times with the scenery of the city and the landscape. But in 2014, there were significant changes in his expression, which was partly due to a special opportunity to decorate the corner office of the CEO of Politikkens Hus. Here not only the walls but also the ceiling were adorned with floating islands and birds.
Subsequently, Kristian Vodder Svensson has made several major commissions, such as the Spanish Steps in Sønderborg, the dining room at Bjergsnæs School, the end wall of the concert hall at Fur Bryghus, the Health Center in Haderslev and the Aarhus Business Academy in Viby.
The expression in Kristian Vodder Svensson's art is formally built around the adventurous, but at the same time realistic tales, where in certain cases Avartar - like floating islands are populated by animals and people in communication with each other and the spectators. In other paintings, the surface is filled with stands and trees, which give the impression of almost jungle-like landscapes, in which man is often alone or left in the great outdoors. Paintings that often provide food for thought.
As a spectator, you are drawn to the beautiful and at the same time realistic universe in Kristian Vodder Svensson's art.
The exhibition NOW also shows an artist who knows his craft and knows how to use it artistically.
Opening on Saturday 15 August at 14-16.
The artist participates in the introduction at 14.15.

The reopening of Denmark combined with the restrictions on holiday trips abroad, gives Gallery NB new hope. In fact, the gallery expects to receive a much larger number of guests during the summer than before, as the gallery believes that many will use the holidays in Denmark to discover this year even more. Not least focusing on Central Jutland and its countless and very different artistic experiences.
Against this background, gallery NB has put a lot of energy into creating an artistic attraction.
A total of 20 selected European artists contributed to the exhibition with paintings, sculptures and mixed media.

Carsten Frank
BACK TO NATURE
01.05 - 05.06
It is not without pride that we, despite the Covid-19 situation,
opens the exhibition Back to Nature with new paintings by Carsten Frank.
An exhibition that Carsten Frank has been working on since the summer of 2019.
The exhibition process will be as follows:
All the works are posted on the website.

About the exhibition:
Carsten Frank has exhibited in gallery NB since 1996, and therefore he has a large number of exhibitions behind him.
It has allowed us to experience how he has always worked with the renewal in his expression.
Back to Nature shows another new page by Carsten Frank.
On several levels, we are witnessing a look back. Carsten Frank has always interpreted nature, but this time we see a more gentle and different loose poetry.
Carsten Frank says of his works: "It is so latent in me that even in my more violent and expressive paintings, I try to find the quiet poetry. Nature is now the only credible ally we as humans have left. In a world marked of acceleration and alienation, we increasingly need the break and the natural, and that is one of the prime goals of my art.
After many years, I have again found the joy of the Spanish countryside, which has also been my vision and surroundings for more than 30 years. The 30 years of experience, of course, have brought my art and expression to new places, and now I have felt that with good conscience, and far more certainty, I can allow myself to interpret the Andalusian landscape. It is not a straightforward task. Culture needs to be inherited and it is a slow process ”.
The expression has become softer and the mood more Spanish. The works have become more poetic and can reasonably inspire others to write poems for the paintings. Not least because the paintings contain more than reproductions of nature; they are also filled with fragments and abstractions.
Two years ago, Carsten visited Frank Island and Canada, bringing home insistent memories and sketches that have since - and still are - becoming new works.
Raw nature with the sea, rocks, mountains and slopes influenced the artist to work positively on the impressions. The Nordic images are composed differently, and the color position is naturally heavier and more contrasting.
It is the gallery's wish and great hope that many will choose the opportunity to experience this new exhibition.
Yours sincerely
Team NB
