Lars Tygesen – Flowers
Galerie Mikael Andersen is delighted to welcome Lars Tygesen back to the gallery with his new solo exhibition Flowers, opening Thursday
November 20, 17:00-19:00.
In Flowers, Tygesen revisits one of painting’s most classical subjects — the bouquet — and transforms it into a contemporary meditation on image, perception and decay. Each painting begins with a paper collage, assembled as a loose framework and later translated into paint. These are not naturalistic depictions, but points of departure for
a painterly exploration in which control and coincidence continuously intertwine.
The paintings present vases and floral arrangements that seem to hover between construction and collapse. Fields of colour are interrupted by drips and transparent overlays that alternately construct and deconstruct the image. The compositions are precise yet porous; they appear both deliberate and fleeting, as if painted at the moment before disappearance. Tygesen’s palette is characteristically luminous — pastel pinks, faded violets, mint greens and warm ochres unfold across the surface like afterimages of something once natural, now remembered through screens, filters and memory. What we encounter is not nature itself, but its echo.
While Flowers draws on the still life tradition, it also questions it. The genre, historically associated with abundance and vitality, becomes here a reflection on transience. The flowers do not bloom; they dissolve. The paintings are suspended in a perpetual in-between state — between gesture and structure, abstraction and figuration, becoming and vanishing. In Tygesen’s hands, the still life turns into a quiet drama about painting itself:
its endurance, its fragility, and its insistence on beauty even as it fades. Flowers captures that paradox — the eternal life of something that is always on the verge of disappearing.’
