AS I SEE IT
LEIF SYLVESTER
New paintings, reliefs and sculptures
The popular artist Leif Sylvester shows works in media such as painting, painted wood reliefs, bronze, tapestries and brightly colored ceramics. Most of them were created for this exhibition, which follows up on the exhibition from Wonderful Everyday Life, which we showed in 2015. Once again, you will encounter the artist's typically festively executed, but also sharp observations of the OBS quibbles with life of ordinary people. A new large frieze is also called The Snake in Paradise (acrylic on canvas).

ARTAPESTRY7
International Triennial
It has been four years since we last presented the abundance of expression in woven tapestries that make up ARTAPESTRY. And this is the seventh time that the organization European Tapestry Forum has thus sent a juried exhibition on tour in Europe. The triennial gives the audience a good insight into the current trends among weaving artists. The jury has selected the 37 most beautiful, skillfully executed and most creative tapestries from more than 100 submissions. The first prize this time has gone to Feliksas Jakubauskas with the work "Three Spheres".

LIFE BREATH IN THE NOSTRIL
Helgi Fridjonsson (ISL)
A sea of silver at the entrance to the exhibition embraces the exhibition visitor and creates a resonant space for poetic watercolors and small oil paintings by Icelandic Helgi Fridjonsson. His pictorial world contains recognizable elements from nature and myth and is at the same time pure poetry. Often with a dreamy atmosphere. A mixed mythological/real universe as two sides of reality – as in some of Asger Jorn's work, which has also inspired Helgi Fridjonsson. He exhibited at the then Silkeborg Art Museum in 1993 and at the Silkeborg Bad Art Center in 2018 together with several colleagues under the title Playful Dialogue. The current exhibition title is connected to a childhood memory of helping newborn lambs to breathe by removing mucus from their nostrils with his tongue. In the first weeks of the exhibition period, the artist will be available in an open workshop.
