Cath Alexandrine Danneskiold-Samsøe Gallery
is proud to present the new exhibition - ‘Manifolding - Frequency of Repetition’ with works by two British artists, Nicola Bealing and Susan Elliott, who’s art is
on show for the first time in Denmark.
The exhibition is dedicated to different story telling, expressed by figurative, layered repetition of massed elements and motives.
On view February 28 - May 31st, 2013
Nicola Bealing (Born 1963 in Hertfordshire, London), who graduated from Byam Shaw School of Art in London, is recognized by her compelling and somehow
dark-humoured paintings which have always been narrative.
The imaginary sense of her paintings, is based on a wide variety of sources: “pure imagination, daydreaming, eaves-dropping, traveling and observing fleeting
incidents.”
Bealing is fascinated by the visual possibilities of art, assembled from massed elements. She aims to make her work function equally on two levels: from a
distance and at the same time magnetically drawing the viewer into the paintings, to focus on individuals within the multitude. According to the art critic and writer,
Laura Gascoigne, Bealing creates 'spontaneous eruptions of painterly high spirits'.
For the exhibition at Cath Alexandrine Danneskiold-Samsøe Gallery, Bealing constructs slowly layered figurative repetition of human and fish motives.
Her intention is to reveal humans as individuals captured by the controlled world, contrary fish that are free beings.
Presented paintings refers to the statement by John Ruskin, the English critic, who wrote in 1868: ‘No human being, however great or powerful was ever as free
as a fish, there is always something he must, or must not do, while the fish can do whatever he likes. All the kingdoms of the world put together are not half so
large as the sea.’
Bealing is granted by the title of RWA Academy, and her work is held in numerous of important private and public collections (Among others Deutsche Bank,
Unilever and the Jerwood Contemporary Collection; her paintings have also been shown in the BP Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, and she was first
prizewinner in the South West Open Exhibition).
Susan Elliott (Born 1959, works and lives in Hastings, UK), focuses in her art on national identity, telling a multi faceted story within an iconic image of a
popular culture.
Her work explores a view of being British, seen through tourist mementoes and souvenirs.
She selects her materials with a great care, focusing on artistic recycling.
Elliott’s works are made out of tea time crockery, badges, coins and basically everyday things of domestic living.
Elliott finds her materials mainly in second hand shops of resorts and car boot fairs which makes the viewing experience a discovery and recognition, like going
through someone’s drawers.
Susan Elliott’s work is an archive of the nation’s mantelpieces, an affectionate collection of the kitsch, often based on Union Jack within which there is an inherent
beauty.
Even though Susan Elliott deals with clichés, she manages to combine both humor and poignancy in the way that deconstructs who the British think they are, and
what they reflect to the rest of the world.
Before Susan Elliott started as a community artist, painting large scale public murals in London, she studied textile design and mosaic making, which is a
discipline that she has now embraced and made her own.
