Other / Troy Lovegates “Shallow Lake” @ Mohs Exhibit.

Posted on May 27, 2013 by Lints

The Canadian artist “Other” is currently in Copenhagen, for his exhibition at Mohs Exhibit.

The exhibition entitled “Shallow Lake” opened last friday. I swung by and had a look…

From the press release:

Troy lovegates is a nomadic folk artist that paints stories of way finders and lost stories told around bonfires ..This art show is a compilation of paintings made over a grumpy grey winter in Toronto , turbulent drawings during cross America train excursions, night buses to Detroit and chicago, and a geriatric transatlantic 14 day cruise …. As reference material numerous homeless people’s souls were captured in alleyways or sleeping on park benches in buenos aires ,Bucharest , Berlin , Barcelona and any other cities you can think of that start with a B … The old wood and frames were scavenged in abandoned buildings during long winter walks or longer summer bike rides … All this is really just a storyline and composition of wandering and exploring outdoors…dragged inside and fancied up to be gazed upon..

Enjoy

The exhibition will be up until 29.06.13 at Mohs Exhibit.

Nelio – Babel Exhibition at Gallery B15

Posted on September 5, 2012 by Lints

Here’s a few photo’s from Nelio’s recent exhibition at Gallery B15.

The exhibition showed a good mixture of paintings, photos, wood sculpture and print.

Have a look!

But first a few words from the gallery:

“The exhibition draws upon the ancient historical account of the tower of Babel.
The Babel tower was according to biblical accounts a tower built by a people in unison to reach the sky. But god new, that if the humans united their powers nothing would be to big a task. He hence confused the humans by giving them different languages. This account is the bibles rendering on the concept of different tongues.

Nelio has created works which fuses concepts and perceptions from ancient and strange cultures. Native tripes and rural concepts mingle with historic references, mythological understandings and subjective thoughts all refering to the account of the tower of Babel.

Nelio is one of the primary Street Artists from the 00′s. He is known from the cityscape of Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam & Paris. The last couple of years his focus has been exploring the cities of southeast asia.

Now has come the time to show the works in front of a gallery audience. Nelio is 29 years old, and has Paris and Lyon as base.

He personally has this to say about what has influenced the work: “I like to see my artwork as a unknown language which can come from the past or the future, from humanity or any other civilization. For this reason I’m really attracted to primitive art, where you can find amazing abstract representations of the world. I also love the alphabet and symbols of old civilizations like the ancient Egyptians, the Maya. I have also been influenced by “futuristic” movements such as Suprematism, Cubism, Dadaism, Surrealism, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Op Art”..”

Amigo – Post Ancestral Exhibition at Mohs Exhibit

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Lints

I finally got the chance to re-visit Amigo’s exhibition at Mohs exhibit, here in Denmark. This time with a memorycard in my camera! A lot of really nice work presented within illustration, sculpture and photo, but see for yourself:

From the gallery:

“Amigo comes from Marseille, south of France. He lives and works in Brussels in Belgium. He is not exclusively a drawer, painter or photographer, he investigates each technics to retranscribe the world sorrounds him.

Ironic study, unapproved by the scientists, of modern society. Cooking of ancestral symbols, ethnic rituals, and modern situations. A puzzle, not chronogical, ironic and offbeat of the human nature. He shows at the MOHS exhibit, the vision of a native in the city at the end of maya calendar, with some drawings, paintings, sculptures and photographies.”
