Vilmantas
29.09 - 27.10
Together

20 years of intense collaboration and Vilmantas upcoming 50th birthday are the occasion to present an exhibition featuring the finest of this unique artistic expression and personality.

The exhibition will fill both the Main gallery and NBeX project with paintings, graphic works, stained glass, painted ceramic dishes and unique jars.

For those who do not yet know Vilmantas, it is worth mentioning that he has had a remarkable career since the academy in Vilnius, Lithuania, which is constantly evolving.

At the request of a wellknown  art collector, we first met Vilmantas and his wife Indra in 1997. This meeting and the following two years had major consequences for both Vilmantas career and gallery NB's profile. Thus, since 2000, the artist and gallery has a world wide cooperation. Vilmantas is a very technically skilled artist and at the same time creative artist with personal attitudes. For example, during academy, he developed his own color spectrum and a holistic mindset for his expressive works. Historically, there will be evidence to describe Vilmantas with its very unique approach to colors and the true personal artistic expression, as a great artistic personality with brilliant features.

In addition to his normal work in the studio, he has carried out extensive decorations and portrait assignments, primarily in Denmark. Furthermore, he is an example to many Lithuanian artists, including as initiator and founder of the annual Young Painters Prize, which takes place in Vilnius, and attracts young artists from all three Baltic countries.

The exhibition is followed by a catalogue: Vilmantas - TOGETHER - 2019

Henriette Hellstern
25.08 - 22.09
Das Narrenhaus

Henriette Hellstern is a big fan of thematic exhibitions. They stay focused and create an interesting and intense experience for the audience. Therefore, it is with great expectations that we look forward to the upcoming exhibition.

Henriette Hellstern is remarkably strong, dynamic and very personal in her expression and profile. She herself says: I think I became an expressionist, as working with real true emotions every day. It was a taboo in my childhood, but today I can tell the present, the incoming and the stories through this technique, says Henriette Hellstern, adding: precisely this, talking about things through art is important to me. I think we can meet across differences if we can communicate, and what's better than the art of making paintings on words we can't say?

Therefore, we look forward to the thematic exhibition Das Narrenhaus, which takes an affectionate starting point in the doctors' practice towards the patients at the Insanity Hospital in Viborg in 1877.

Das Narrenhaus is also the story of being an outsider and misunderstood individual. In Henriette Hellstern's childhood in East Jutland, artists also felt differently. The need for a psychologist was completely outlawed, and they looked down at those in the community who needed help. Something that the artist feelled on her own body as she went down with social phobia and then severe depression. The understanding of the outside world was missing.

The exhibition is therefore a two-part experience where one can choose one's focus in relation to a personal interest in either the professional side of psychiatry as it was 142 years ago, or as an insight into the artist’s challenges of life's vital issues.

Waou

21.06 - 18.08

Twelve artists from gallery NB exhibit 3 selected masterpieces and offer the summer guests in gallery NB a waou experience.

The summer is always characterized by the desire to go out and see, for example art, many other places than where you live. In this context, gallery NB finds it important also to open the gallery for those who want to travel to see art. And when they come to gallery NB, they should not be disappointed. Therefore, gallery NB focuses on creating a group exhibition that presents the best of many of the gallery's artists.

The artists of the Waou exhibition are characterized by being a mixture of Danish and foreign, upcoming and known international artists.
That is why the exhibition shows works of art with collector qualities of the following artists:

Andrea Damp
Carsten Frank
Claes Otto Jennow
Henriette Hellstern
John Reuss
Kristian Vodder Svensson
Marius Martinussen
Nana Rosenørn Holland Bastrup
Paul Smulders
