ART & CLIMATE 09

Dear Uffe
:VENUE contemporary art gallery and Øksnehallen hereby  have the pleasure of inviting you to participate with your works at the group exhibition: ART & CLIMATE 09, which will be held in the foyer of Øksnehallens from 12. November – 20. December 2009.
In connection to the United Nations Climate Conference, COP15, in Copenhagen, there will be held a series of conferences about climate in the main room at Øksnehallen.
The exhibition and the respective works/projects will therefore most likely get a lot of attention.
The Aim
As the title states, the purpose is to ask a group of Danish and international, contemporary artists from different generations and with different expressions, to give their interpretation of how they think we can do something positive and constructive about the rapid pace at which the world is changing due to climate change. They should additionally be ideas that aren’t doomsday’s prophecies like the many we see in the news. The ideas should be forward thinking and have a positive focus.
The curator of the exhibition will be Christian Stadil, who is a well-known media personality in Denmark but also the chairman of Hummel A/S. He is involved with climate work within his own businesses but also in official climate projects. In addition to this he is also well versed in the contemporary art world in Denmark and internationally.
Hereby we have a curator, who has expertise and knowledge about climate and contemporary
art.

Computer Art – RED TIGER

Computer sketch for a decoration.

Sketch for decoration for a large company situated in Odense harbour. Denmark

The owner wanted the three painting to appear as one complete work, and the same blue colour to appear as a common thread in each painting. The office has three windows each of 16 sq metres looking out over the harbour in Odense. This gives sky and water a great effect on the light in the room.

The tigers were to be violent and aggressive and the office was to be charged with energy and exude power. You are meant to feel when standing in the room that it is the same tiger attacking you and that the three paintings should hang together, so that you cannot remove one without it being missing in the complete picture.

Sketches of office decoration carried out on computer.
The digital pictures were painted in Painter 8 and Photoshop CS.

The three paintings all have a height of 2 metres and measure 1.75, 1.5 and 3 metres in length respectively.
