Winter Accrochage

Galerie Mikael Andersen welcomes the winter season with a presentation of paintings and sculptures by a wide selection of the gallery’s artists. The exhibition brings together works across generations, media and sensibilities, creating new connection between pieces that span the figurative and the abstract, the intimate and the monumental.

A dialogue unfolds at the entrance between the large-scale paintings of Mustafa Maluka and Fritz Bornstück, both depicting figures who seem to carry stories far beyond the canvas. Maluka’s portraits are known for their psychological presence that reveals deep and universal truths about identity, survival and human emotion. Opposite these, Bornstück’s paintings shows wandering figures moving through dystopian landscapes. In “A Valley Below”, a lone traveller laden with objects and accompanied by a dog, navigated a verdant valley with a strange and temperate luminosity.

A group of more abstract works offers a shift in tone in the centre of the space. Here, a composition by Leonard Forslund, alongside pieces by Robert Lucander, Eske Kath, Ammon Rost and Lars Tygesen explores surface, structure and colours. The exhibition culminates in Wonga Mancoba’s large-scale painting “Burial Under The Moon” where symbolic forms and gestural brushwork merge into a meditation on ritual, spirituality and collective memory.

Throughout the space, ten sculptures creates further layers. Ceramics by Fritz Bornstück, Bertel Bjerre, Günther Förg and Tjörg Douglas Beer, followed by three bronze sculptures by Lucy Teasdale, Ejler Bille and Sonja Ferlov Mancoba alongside a baby pink coloured plaster by Poul Gernes. The sculptural presence extends the dialogue between form and narrative that defines this year’s Winter Accrochage.
