NY � EL Galleri Tom Christoffersen presents the sculptor �ivind Nyg�rd and conceptual artist Elmer at the exhibition: NY � EL. The show is basically a juxtaposition of new works; The first and only cardboard sculpture ever made by Nyg�rd and an immense number of paintings in a very consistent series by Elmer. For the last 25 years the two artists have influenced there respective fields on the contemporary Danish art scene � but apart from that, they do not have much in common. What gathers the works at NY � EL is a humorous approach to art making, which seems to soften the seriousness of their projects. As when �ivind Nyg�rd with an unimpressed humour lets the figural point of departure of his formalistically worked sculpture be: �A clown, that drums on a drum with his nose� � while Elmer emerges himself in the circulation of commercial images and starts painting from: �A huge bowl of fruits and greens in the shape of a Chihiro-monster � it wanders out of the frame!� NY � EL is a very free attempt at art making � fast sketches for ideas seems to take shape in the space between the flat, fast and simple paintings and the transitory quality of the cardboard sculpture. Text and comments on NY � EL by invited artists and authors will be uploaded during the exhibition period � in Danish only. |
