NEW MYTHOLOGIES | JONAS PIHL | 24.09. – 22.10.2021

Multifaceted Morning, 2021, Mixed media on venetian linen , 160 x 180 cm.

Galleri Christoffer Egelund is proud to present NEW MYTHOLOGIES which is the second solo exhibition of the Danish visual artist Jonas Pihl. Known for his imaginative paintings he turns the gallery into a portal to another universe and its worlds.

The works of Jonas Pihl contain the elements of abstraction and randomness together with precise perspective shifts. On top of those, each painting is filled with adventurous components and symbols that bridge the familiar with the unknown, the random and the controlled or in larger terms – the Chaos and the Cosmos. These dualisms are always present in Pihl’s oeuvre. With the thought of the viewer they merge and form a new approach, attitude or mythology. Jonas Pihl believes we are in a need of those and through his works enables us to take on the experience.

The use of Venetian linen in all the new paintings creates a subtle background for everything that is going on in each painting. The dripping acrylic allows space for randomness when it is the gravity that decides the destination of the drop. The repetition of that action creates a pattern that becomes a decorative element of the painting and that is only the beginning. They are met by geometrical shapes of circles, triangles and squares which give a sense of something tangible by the mind, something we know, something we can hold onto. Then the colour palette adds the wildness portion – in Pihl’s universe all the hues can exist together and form exciting compositions.

Our world is built from various elements that bind everything together. The fractal systems, Fibonacci sequence or the circle are just some examples of structures that are foundational to the existence. The small connects to the large, the micro cosmos becomes the macro cosmos. There is an order that initiates the beginning and end of each particle. The mind can only comprehend so much, but the ethereal is in symbiosis with the material. The paintings of Jonas Pihl form compositions that allow for their content to elevate to a higher effect.

Jonas Pihl considers himself a spectator of the present, having in mind that it is like a curtain that offers many layers of experience, depending on any individual. This approach has paradoxically made him present – and not distanced – to the here and now, perhaps because he is not engrossed in it.

The works shown as part of the exhibition point to sci-fi-like figurations and virtual spaces that create the titled NEW MYTHOLOGIES that the viewer can step into. It is a getaway from the constantly changing contemporary world. The concentration of the works with their dualisms stems from an ideology that two seemingly contradictory poles might merge in a dialogue about something higher, rather that causing a dispute.

Jonas Pihl was born in 1978. He lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has received BFA and MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art under Professor Jesper Christiansen. Together with his MFA Pihl also has a Diploma from Sisifos Centre for Psychotherapy. The artist has exhibited widely in Denmark, Europe and USA. His works are represented in private and public collections such as: Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Københavns Kommunes Kulturudvalg and Copenhagen Airport.

Galleri Christoffer Egelund invites you to the opening of the exhibition NEW MYTHOLOGIES by Jonas Pihl Friday, September 24th from 15.00 to 19.00. The artist will be present during the opening reception and we will serve cool drinks and snacks. The show will run until October 22nd. Facemasks are no longer required, but we kindly remind you to keep a safe distance to other visitors.

YUICHI HIRAKO / SOLO SHOW / SPROUT / 13.10.-25.11

Galleri Christoffer Egelund is proud to present the young Tokyo-based artist, Yuichi Hirako’s third solo exhibition “Sprout”. The exhibition consists of a series of new paintings and sculptures where the Japanese artist seeks towards the light and examines the beneficial interaction between human and nature. It is the modern urbanized human being own relationship with the wild nature, which is central to Hirako’s artistic work. In a exuberant dream world where human life intermarriage with the primeval forest, Hirako identifies with both humor and insight the state of the civilization.

Antrophomorphic creatures inhabit the sprouting scenes of Yuichi Hirakos paintings and for a while the rooms of Galleri Christoffer Egelund as well when the plant-like beings seem to have crawled from the canvases into the rooms as sculptures. The renaissance artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo painted fantastic portrait heads made out of flowers, vegetables or fruits. In Hirakos paintings it seems like these plant people have been attributed bodies to walk around in a fairytale-like universe. Animated brushwork and pulsating colouring forms a world where the boundaries between culture and nature, man and plant and indoors/outdoors are non-existent.

In the art of Hirako it is not only nature and man that meet but also Western and Eastern notions. In Japan plants have earlier been given a godlike status, a phenomenon called Shinboku. In Western myths and fairy tales the wood and wild nature have been associated with quite other meanings; this is the habitat of witches, trolls and other horrific creatures. Hirako’s forests contain the holy and magical as well as the gloomy and threatening; this artist uses equally sized portions of light and dark colours.

Yuichi Hirako (b. 1982 in Okayama, Japan) graduated from Wimbledon College of Art in London in 2005. He now lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Since his graduation he has exhibited at national as well as international venues including; The Museum of Modern Art (Gunma) in Japan, Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, The Museum of Kyoto, Temporary Contemporary in London. He has received several art prizes from which could be mentioned VOCA 2013 (Vision of Contemporary Art), Tokyo Wonderwall Prize 2010 and Shell Art Award 2009.

Galleri Christoffer Egelund cordially invites you to the opening of Yuichi Hirako: Sprout, Friday the 13th of October 2015. The artist will be present during the opening reception. The exhibition will run until November the 25th. Opening hours: Tuesday-Friday 11-18, Saturdays 12-16.

Fernisering: HERBARIUM – fotografi & botanik

Fotografisk Center inviterer til fernisering fredag den 2. juni kl. 17 – 19 på udstillingen Herbarium – fotografi og botanik.

Andreas Greiner,
Florian (Peridinium bipes), 2016
Scanning electron microscope image Measurement: Andreas Greiner and Martina Heider, Bayerisches Polymerinstitut, University Bayreuth

Hvilken betydning har algers fotosyntese haft på udviklingen af liv i havet og på hele økosystemet? Hvilken betydning har skoven? Hvad er det for en trang, mennesket til alle tider har haft til at indsamle, registrere og katalogisere planter? Hvordan har naturvidenskabens metoder formet vores viden om og opfattelse af naturen? Og hvilken rolle spiller fotografiet for dette? Gruppeudstillingen Herbarium – fotografi og botanik fokuserer på samtidskunstnere, der arbejder i skæringspunktet mellem fotografi og botanik.

Parrallelt med med udstillingen udkommer tidsskriftet Filter i September med et nummer over samme tema, der, udover at fokusere på samspillet mellem fotografi og botanik i samtidskunsten, også belyser det historiske samspil mellem fotografi og videnskab og det fotografiske mediums afgørende indflydelse på vores opfattelse af natur og planter op igennem det 20. og 21. århundrede.

Udstillingen er kurateret af Camilla Kragelund fra tidsskriftet Filter i samarbejde med Fotografisk Centers leder Kristine Kern og præsenterer værker af kunstnerne: Camilla Berner, Nanna Debois Buhl, Andreas Greiner, Ulrik Heltoft & Miljohn Ruperto, Jaakko Kahilaniemi, Sanna Kannisto, Sandra Kantanen, Diana Scherer og Helene Schmitz.

Udstillingen løber i perioden 03.06 – 03.09.2017.

Vi glæder os til at se jer!

Study Group on Migration Presents

Talks. Workshops. Visual & Sound art / Museet for Samtidskunst

I efteråret 2016 etablerede museet for Samtidskunst en studiegruppe Study Group on Migration. Her mødtes kunstnere, asylansøgere, aktivister og akademikere for at diskutere migration. Nu inviterer gruppen alle nysgerrige til at være med.

Lørdag 21. januar 12.00 – 17.30 præsenterer gruppen dele af deres arbejde på Museet for Samtidskunst. Der vil være talks, workshops og lydkunst. Det er gratis at være med. Dagens program foregår på engelsk og tilmelding er ikke nødvendig.

// How does the current migration challenge the idea of the nation state, borders and questions ofbelonging? And how can we approach this conflicted field, overcome ’othering’ and contribute to new ways of understanding ourselves and each other.

In the fall, the Museum of Contemporary Art established a Study Group on Migration. 17 people including artists, asylum seekers, activists and academics, met over 5 times to discuss this very topic. The result was an intense and ramified journey, with each person bringing hers or his specific knowledge to the dialogue.

Now, we would like YOU to join the conversation. On Saturday January the 21st we invite everybody to experience workshops, performances, sound art and talks engaging in the topic of migration and challenging ‘othering’ in relation to this.

The event will take place from 12.00 – 5.30pm at Museum of Contemporary Art, Stændertorvet 3D, Roskilde 4000, but a program will be out soon!

Hope to see you there!

Best

The Study Group
