HEAVENLY CONSIDERATIONS

Paintings by Henrik Martensen

There is a high ceiling in the works of visual artist Henrik Martensen. The small person in the large space is a recurring theme in his works. As a painter, he works in line with a recent trend, where individual visual artists and art photographers at home and abroad are seeking a hyper-realistic expression. The fascination with real natural phenomena is, however, processed - some emphasized, others omitted - so that the picture itself becomes a pure statement. Read more here

TIME * SOIL * STAR

We belong to the world. The world does not belong to us. That is the starting point for the exhibition TIME*SOIL*STAR, which revolves around the impact of humans on the planet. The climate crisis is examined through a series of installations that address everything from local contemporary archaeological finds, earth creatures, flower metaphors, life's transition to eternal sleep and invasions from distant galaxies. The participating artists are: Jeanette Land Schou, Nina Maria Kleivan, Karen Gabel Madsen, Bodil Brems, Henriette C. Hansen, Vicky Steptoe, Pernelle Maegaard and Nanna Gro Henningsen.

A Tree is A Tree is A Tree: The Tree Chapel

Maria Dubin

Colorful portraits of trees embrace the audience in the panorama hall. The large paintings were created in the artist's workshop in Paris as part of overcoming depression. The result has become a meditative picture space, filled with light and space for many emotions. This is the first time Maria Dubin has shown this series of works in public. And it is noble that it can happen here, where Ørnsø and the living trees just outside the panoramic window form the backdrop. Read more here

Sculpture Experiment Silkeborg - S.E.S.

- in the Park at the Art Center Silkeborg Bad

S.E.S. is a playground for sculptors - artists who work with sculpture.
We have previously tried, and with great success, to ask the artists to experiment with sculpture that only has to be able to withstand outdoor use for five weeks.
In August - September 2026, the Park will be visited by new sculptures, which will be selected by a jury from proposals from members of the Danish Sculptors' Association. The selection will take place in January 2026 and then we will know more about the participants.

FAR OUT IN THE FOREST

Woodcuts, photography and painting are mixed in this exhibition, where the columned hall is filled with works by four exciting Danish artists, each with extensive experience in their own field. What they have in common is observing and processing nature as a motif, and not least how we humans view nature. Meet Anette Abrahamson, Svend-Allan Sørensen, Christina Jensen and Vibeke Glarbo.
