Colour Space and Tigers
Visually, nature is a constant interaction of light and shade, a constant interaction of colours. Nature has its own set of rules, but it is not this I am seeking, but the artistic perception of it.
When I stand out in nature letting my eyes roam from the foreground to the trees and vineyards in the middle ground and further out to the horizon with mountains which almost disappear into the airy blue sky, all this is experienced as a universe of colour. This space with its colours recreates dreams and echoes the flight of ideas and feelings
The artist creates something which does not exist, and in my opinion this is the artist’s task.

DECORATION 2006
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.
Tiger C. 200×300 cm.
Tiger B. 200×150 cm.
Tiger A. 200×275 cm.
View from the office over Odense harbour.
