Mads Hyldgaard Nielsen
my throat is a corridor, 2026
Oil on linen
45 × 20 cm
Nielsen explores painting as a space of transformation, where bodies, landscapes, light and matter continuously emerge and dissolve. Drawing on Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque traditions, he reactivates their dramatic compositions and physical intensity to address contemporary experiences of desire, vulnerability and change. His figures appear suspended between ecstasy and collapse, beauty and violence, destruction and rebirth. Moving between figuration and abstraction, Nielsen creates images that resist fixed narratives and invite the viewer into a visceral, sensory encounter with painting.
The work will be presented by Tempesta Gallery at Enter Art Fair in Copenhagen, from 26 to 30 August 2026
