contemporary art that interacts with the surrounding society. Today the gallery has two locations, V1 Gallery and Eighteen, in the central meatpacking district of Copenhagen. Director, Founder & Owner: Jesper Elg

The paintings are made from thinly diluted washes of oil paint on found sailcloth, cloth that spent a working life holding wind and has since retired from it. I cut the sails into squares, though a corner is often missing — a sail is not a square and I would rather lose the corner than lose the sail. I let the washes run. Gravity makes most of the decisions. Layer after layer, I keep building the experience of a wave, the feeling of the ocean: this planets all-encompassing, overwhelming unique, and extraordinarily thin outer layer.

That is what I am after here. Not a picture of water. The oil paint becoming water, becoming the ocean.

Rose Eken is currently a part of the group exhibition, Between us and Things, Faaborg Kunstmuseum.

Eken will participate in an artist talk at the museum, October 29, 16.30 - 18.30. Tickets are available on the museum's website.

"Med særudstillingen Tingene imellem os – Between Us and Things præsenterer Faaborg Museum en ny særudstilling med samtidskunst. Udstillingen præsenterer udvalgte værker af Sarah Becker (f. 1973), Tine Bek (f. 1988), Rose Eken (f. 1976) og Ann Linn Palm Hansen (f. 1984).

I udstillingen bringes værker fra de fire kunstnere sammen omkring opstillingen som fælles tema. Udstillingen viser værker, hvor motiverne er hentet i elementer fra hverdagslivet: et æg og noget smør, en opvask, et barndomsfoto af to heste, blomster i en vase, bøger og sko. Det er genkendelige motiver fra et levet liv; noget vi kan relatere til. I værkerne er ting og objekter dog ikke noget, der blot nøgternt repræsenteres. De bærer på historier, stemninger og minder om samvær, om mennesker, relationer og situationer – alt det, der opstår og udspiller sig imellem tingene."

"Gravité Perdue is an exhibition about the ocean. The large, immersive paintings, executed in oil on repurposed sailcloth, are not literal depictions of the sea, but rather evoke the feeling of the ocean: the push and pull, the loss of gravity, being submerged or floating, drifting, forces beyond human control, a unique ecosystem, appearing and disappearing, and an endless shifting of bluish hues. These works are the ocean: the waves, the sensation of weightlessness. I love floating with massive waves, letting go and letting the ocean taking you wherever it wants."
