Danish Fine Arts

The first time I built this lens I was not sure what language; I should use to build it. That is because some letters in the Danish alphabet make troubles when web applications try to read them. Those are examples of letters: "æ, ø, å". Different signs than those in the normal English alphabet are not accepted on search engines, some forms, web browsers and some other software.

This situation makes me cautious. However, I decided to take this boat and go multicultural using both languages, Danish and English.

Well, I should do some arts here too. So, I will begin with one image I have chosen randomly to one Danish woman artist. Her name is Lise Porsmose. She is artist even in the way she takes pictures to herself. An essence of nature in this frisky universe moves lively deep in her artworks. It moves through the crossroads of life and death, the crossroads of fantasy and reality, and the crossroads where colours meet the lines and the forms.

There is a passionate woman artist in the original picture. However, she is here once again emerging from the shadows in these five configurations on the Polaroid above.

This is a simple artwork development to a normal picture!

Now you can see the image with complete neck, the tip of the shoulder and the direction of this configuration in the shaping Polaroid. I see there is something going to ... bloom! The red colour in the configuration Polaroid moves if you keep looking to it. However, it moves more clear in the image in my folder.

Dialectic? May be ...

Some Danish artists draw beautiful touches on the air and breathe their feelings through fresh smiles in their artworks to enrich the beautiful climate in Silkeborg, Denmark by some beautiful sculptures, handcrafts and paintings. Accompanied by open atelier-doors, arts auctions and arts lucky ballot for public, the arts exhibitions start on the last week of August every year.

The fine arts annual occasion is one of the moments I enjoy touring in this beautiful city, meeting artists and arts lovers, chatting with them and just have fun. However, I feel lonely and have that secret pure sadness in my heart on such occasions, as there is nobody intimate to share these small details with me.

Elena Bering is a professional artist since 1980. She graduated from Skt. Petersborg Arts Academy, Russia. She works with different genres of fine arts, such as portrait, landscape, and other kinds of formations. She uses different techniques too. Her preferred materials are watercolours, pastel, acryl and collage as concepts in visual arts. She finds herself deeply inspired by the world around her, and touched by the rich nature, the colours and the lights to draw that inspiration into her artworks.

Lene Purkær Stefansen er en dansk kvinde kunstner. Hun arbejder specialet med bronze.

Hun siger: Jeg er bronzestøber og billedhugger, sammen med min mand Flemming Purkær driver jeg Aalborg Bronzestøberi.

Bronze er et utroligt fascinerende materiale, der sætter fantasien i gang, og jeg fik stor trang til selv, at lave skulpturer i bronze.

Ideerne til mine skulpturer kommer fra de små og store begivenheder, og temaerne er ofte det følelsesmæssige samspil mellem mennesker, familien, børn. Varme følelser er noget af det jeg oftest forsøger, at omsætte til skulpturer. Inspirationen kommer fra oplevelser i hverdagen.

Det kan være f.eks. noget en person har sagt. Noget der har sat min fantasi i spil. Noget der danner indre billeder. Jeg forestiller mig, hvordan det kunne se ud, jeg lave skitser, tegner løs og pludselig begynder der, at danne sig et billede af en skulptur. Det er en proces, der er svær, at forklare. Ofte sker det intuitivt.

Efter skitsearbejdet laver jeg en model i ler, polyphor eller træ. Denne skulptur pakkes i en sandform, modellen fjernes fra formen og hulrummet i sandformen fyldes herefter af den flydende bronze. Herefter slibes, poleres og patineres skulpturen.

Hendes udstilling lægger på Aalborg Bronzestøberi APS, fabriksparken 9, Svenstrup. Der kan du se hendes skulpturer, hverdag, imellem 7-16.00 eller efter aftale.

Jane Susanne Andersen's paintings grow in an atmosphere of constructing and breaking her topics many times to capture the best topic to paint. The construction process begins with a simple idea. The idea seems to develop while Jane tries to integrate it into colours and lines. However, she suddenly breaks that work. It seems that she discovers her best topic through constructing and breaking the colours and the lines. She has interest in the history of the arts and viewers can see that interest in the way she chooses her subjects, which refers in turn to previously painted subjects.

These are just some talks, to make your creativity walks.

Some people meet, know or feel each other through some artworks. It is the common sense that make some people say when they hear or read something sometimes that, we have written or spoken about such a thing before. Fine arts are not exceptional in this regard. Even if you have never been artist and you just have those feelings of arts, you may come to some expressions in arts and feel that you have the same idea about them before.

This could indicate the influence of arts in people to get them attracted and fascinated to this kind of art or that. However, so many expressions not only in visual arts but also in any other cultural work are becoming common. Let us take one example like, I free my creativity so it moves to achieve this artwork. Free your creativity becomes a common expression not only amongst artists but also amongst other people who have nothing to do with arts.

"I let creativity evolves, blooms, shows itself and produces glass figures, sculptures and pictures," says one Danish woman artist. She points out that fusion arts found a way to her workplace as it appears in some of the images here. Some Danish women artists have achieved different glass artworks by compiling them with granite sculptures to form a stand-alone masks and other figures.

Some years during my 1980s experiences, I interviewed Arabs and International artists and did media coverage to many exhibitions and symposiums. I would be lucky if I found them in my archives to bring them live onto lenses. When I wrote preambles to those articles, I always wrote about freeing your creativity and making it walks in your papers or arts' materials. Therefore, what I have mentioned about those expressions became common in day-to-day life.

You can either ease your creativity or free your creativity to walk and make the lights and shadows. I always ease creativity to move free and appear in my artwork!

Giving examples to some motivations that frees creativity from the habits of day-to-day life; the normal life should sometimes disappear to pave the way for creativity to indulge in a world of its own, travelling in the memory, gathering that special topic, resembling and creating the new arts product. For example, while I wrote those lines, someone came in to request me to write something for him although it was very clear that I was busy typing this sheet. I told him politely to leave it on the table and I would take care of it when I finish this work.

"Motivisk er udgangspunktet i mine billeder naturen. Men malerierne er efterbilleder, abstraktioner, hvor motiverne underordnes den kunstneriske hensigt, nemlig spændingen i flade, streg og form, - og ikke mindst - i farve.

Der er en poetisk dimension i arbejderne. Der er antydninger af kendte former; men det afgørende er intensiteten, farvernes indbyrdes forhold. Dette bevirker, at øjet finder hvile, og at man får anledning til at fordybe sig.

Billederne har et navn eller en titel, som imidlertid er én subjektiv opfattelse bland mange. Titlen skulle nødig vildlede i stedt fir at vejlede. Får beskueren en oplevelse ved at betragte billedet, er det vigtigere end at forstå det."

Kate Nielsen paints and powders her feelings in her artwork. The designs are often naturalistic images of women; the painter adds touches of poetry, strong emotions and symbolism to them. Her palette is bright and subdued.

Potter, Trine Toft finds herself fascinated by the options the clay gives her to sculpture some figures. She finds pleasures in the exciting surfaces, which glazes and differentiates providing her with firing methods to use. She works often with larger pots, sculpted dishes, bowls, etc...

she participated in the following exhibitions: Censored exhibitions: KIC in 2007, Limfjordens Autumn Exhibition 2003/2004, Art in Clay, England 2003/2004, the Artists' Summer Exhibition 2001/2004

Jane Andersen says about her arts, I have always drawn and painted. Painting delights me, draws me, challenges me and gives me a wonderful peace.

It may be a long journey, but when I meet myself, I found that I have achieved what I wanted.

The Danish Arts Council's mission is to take care of and promote the development of the arts in Denmark and the Danish Arts abroad through two principle tasks.

The Arts Council provides support to arts endeavours in performing arts, visual arts, music and literature. The second mission of the Danish Arts Council is to provide advices to public authorities regarding all matters run within the Council's activities.

Founded in July 1, 2003, consisting of ten expert members, the Danish Arts Council has duties defined by the Arts Council Act. The annual Financial Act determines the fund the Council uses to support arts. There is a committee of experts established by the Danish Arts Council for each of the four fields. In addition, the Council has delegated authority to award grants and examine specific matters to the four committees of experts.

The financial support offered by the Danish Arts Council and its committees is planned according to the guidelines of the Literature Act, the Theatre Act, the Visual Arts Act and the Music Act.

The members of the Danish Arts Council serve for four years after which new council members must be appointed according to the plan of action the council draws to the period of office. This plan is subject to the approval of the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.

Each of the Danish Arts Council's committees has five members with the exception of the Committee of Music, which has seven members.

Karel Appel er født 1921 i Amsterdam.

Han er en af pionererne i etableringen af Kobra-gruppen (1948-1951). Og netop denne gruppering gav anledning til adskillige besøg i Danmark, samt kontakt til flere af datidens danske kunstnere - heriblandt Carl-Henning Pedersen og Else Alfelt. Det var i høj grad de danske malere, der inspirerede Appel til at udvikle sit formsprog i den spontane og ekspressive retning.

Appel har senere givet udtryk for en vis irritation over stadig at blive kategoriseret som Kobra-kunstner og på den måde blive sat i bås. Han anser bevægelsen for at være et momentant krydsfelt for en gruppe unge, progressive kunstnere. De mødtes om fælles holdninger samt frustrationen over omgivelsernes manglende forståelse for den abstrakte og ekspressive kunst.

Allerede dengang var spændvidden i gruppens udtryksmåde stor, men siden har de såkaldte Kobra-kunstnere, og heriblandt Appel, udviklet sig i vidt forskellige retninger.

Appels kunstneriske udtryk er umiddelbart fascinerende, ekspressivt og farverigt. Abstraktioner over dyr eller stiliserede menneskefigurer indgår i hans faste motivkreds, og malerisk spænder han fra det konturfaste og enkle til det ekspressive, vildt og kaotiske.

Appels måde at male på er ikke uden grund blevet sammenlignet med en boksekamp: han angriber stoffet med lige dele vitalitet og rastløs energi.

Såvel hans liv som kunstnerisk løbebane synes at følge samme uforudsigelige princip: hans hjem er hele verden, han rejser meget, er hele tiden i bevægelse og betragter sig selv som en rodløs nomade. Kunstnerisk har han alle dage eksperimenteret med formsprog og materialer - og udfoldet sine kreative evner i vidt forskellige genrer. Man kan kun glæde sig over, at han som kunstner aldrig er stivnet i et fast udtryksmønster, men til stadighed har taget nye udfordringer op.
