(please scroll down for text in English) CHRISTIAN SKEEL, MALERIER 2009-10 CHRISTIAN SKEEL CUBE Lene Adler Petersen: S�tning 1974 (Extended. Previously shown at the exhibition �Nogle arbejder fra halvfjerdserne�) Opening: 29.10.2010 at 5-8 PM Duration: 29.10. - 27.11.2010 �Christian Skeel, Malerier 2009-10� er Christian Skeels anden separatudstilling i Galleri Tom Christoffersen. V�rkerne er i stor skala. De pr�senterer stemningsfulde foldede landskaber og er udarbejdet med respekt for beskuerens evne til at sanse og finde rundt i maleriets rum. M�den vi sanser verden p� optager Christian Skeel, og n�r han arbejder med mediet maleri, kredser denne optagethed om motivvalg, om et indg�ende kendskab til geometrien i fladen og om visuel perception. De ofte komplekse og detaljerede kompositioner fremst�r derfor altid som i balance. Landskaberne, der kryber langs maleriets kant eller forsvinder i labyrintiske strukturer i maleriets dybde, tr�kker samtidig p� observationer fra en virkelighed, hvor man befinder sig som krop i bev�gelse. I et maleri genkaldes den forst�rkede oplevelse af at befinde sig i skyggen, i kanten af en lysning og se ud p� solpletter og en oplyst eng. Ved siden af denne erindring om noget erfaret �bnes en bygningsfacade op i et parallelt landskab forskudt i (�rs)tid og sted. V�rket indeholder derfor ogs� de umulige rum, som er tilstede i alle Christian Skeels landskabsmalerier. Disse komplekse kompositioner og selve malem�den er inspireret af digitale muligheder for at morfe, rotere, gentage, spejle og udviske. Der er tale om maleri, hvor teknologi har en harmonisk plads i det endelige udtryk. Christian Skeel (1956) er billedkunstner og komponist. Han har sammen med Morten Skriver lavet installationer, b�ger og film, senest og i samarbejde med fysikeren Clive Ellegaard; NBI Colliderscope, som er et lyskunstv�rk anbragt p� facaden af Niels Bohr Institutets hovedbygning i K�benhavn. Kunstv�rket er direkte forbundet med verdens st�rste fysikfors�g, der netop nu foreg�r i CERN udenfor Geneve. Som komponist har han blandt andet udgivet cd�erne �Metropolitan Suide� (m. Martin Hall), �Samlede Kompositioner� (m. Morti Vizki) og �Short Pieces�. B�ger som �Rejsebog, Vej� og �Den usynlige dreng� er lavet i samarbejde med Morti Vizki. Christian Skeel er repr�senteret p� bl.a. Kiasma, Helsinki (SF), Esbjerg Kunstmuseum, Esbjerg. Ny Carlsbergfondet og Statens Kunstfond har tidligere erhvervet Christian Skeels v�rker . (Press release in English) �Christian Skeel Malerier 2009-10� (Christian Skeel Paintings 2009 -10) is Christian Skeel�s second solo exhibition at Galleri Tom Christoffersen. The works are large scale. They present evocative landscapes folded and laid out with respect for the viewer's ability to sense and navigate in the space of a painting. How we perceive the world interests Christian Skeel. When he works with painting as media, this interest is focused in the choice of subject matter, by a thorough knowledge of the geometry of the surface and of visual perception. The often complex and detailed compositions appear, therefore, always in balance. The landscapes are pushed towards the painting's edge or disappear in a labyrinthine structure into the depth of the painting. And at the same time the paintings incorporate observations from a reality where we exist as body in motion. One particular painting recalls the enhanced experience of being situated in the shadow at the edge of a clearing and experiencing the spectacular contrast as the eye is directed towards sunspots and a meadow bathed in sunshine. Besides to recall something learned or observed the same painting simultaneously presents the fa�ade of a building, that opens up into parallel winter landscape � a displacement of time and space. These impossible spaces are present in all Christian Skeel�s landscape paintings. The complex compositions and the paint method are inspired by digital abilities to morph, rotate, repeat, mirror and blur. They are paintings, where technology has a harmonious place in the final expression. Christian Skeel (1956) is an artist and composer. He, along with Morten Skriver created installations, books and films, most recently and in collaboration with physicist Clive Ellegaard; NBI Colliderscope an installation placed on the facade of the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen's main building. The artwork is directly connected with the world's biggest physics experiments currently taking place at CERN outside Geneva. As a composer, he has released CDs including "Metropolitan suid" (with Martin Hall), "Total Compositions" (w. Morti Vizki) and "Short Pieces". Books like �Rejsebog, Vej� " and "Den usynlige Dreng� are produced in collaboration with Morti Vizki. Christian Skeel is represented at Kiasma, Helsinki (SF), Esbjerg Kunstmuseum, Esbjerg. The New Carlsberg Foundation and The Danish Arts Foundation has previously acquired paintings by Christian Skeel.
