Imploding Images

Opening: Friday, 1/3 at 17-19

Charlotte Fogh Gallery presents the exhibition Imploding Images by Danish artist Iben Toft Nørgård in the gallery’s Locker Room.

Throughout Iben Toft Nørgård oevre she has critically studied the way humans structure nature, through illustrative and three-dimensional collages inspired by botanical depictions in Western and Eastern art history. In the exhibition Imploding Images Iben Toft Nørgård engages in a new abstract way of creating her collages with the same meticulous approach to creating the art pieces which is fundamental for the artist’s oeuvre.

In the 6 new artworks in paper Iben Toft Nørgård deconstructs the figurative motif and exposes the paper as holder of information. The collages contain many years of research where the artist has collected and saved margins and cut outs from old books over the last 10 years. All that is left from these books are the cut outs which create a sculptural landscape with an atmospheric presence. The poetic and ethereal appearance of the imbedded stories lies deep within each detail.

We are looking forward to seeing you.

Best Regards,
