We are happy to present the solo exhibition Everything We Fear Is In Ourselves by American artist Thaddeus Strode. This will be the fourth time Strode has exhibited at Nils Stærk and on this occasion he will incorporate the entire gallery space exhibiting both sculptures and paintings.

For the show, Strode has created a series of masks each titled Pelican Thoughts. The masks are colorized, roughly sculpted, and primitive in their expression. According to Strode, these Pelican Thoughts are …

I denne uge kan seks monumentale malerier af Nils Erik Gjerdevik opleves på galleriet. Fem af dem er malet til Gjerdeviks monografiske udstilling på Brandts Klædefabrik, der sluttede i januar i år. Gjerdevik indtager galleriets rum med disse enorme værker, der på typisk Gjerdeviksk udfordrer beskuerens blik og intellekt. Ornamenter og arabesker bliver brudt af ekspressive elementer, der skaber et spændingsfelt mellem kontrol og løssluppenhed. Her er Gjerdeviks orden ved at blive indtaget af et kaos. Denne ekstraordinære udstilling kan …

Nils Stærk is pleased to announce the exhibition American Photography with ten new works by Los Angeles based artist Torbjørn Rødland. This is Rødland’s fourth solo-presentation at the gallery.

In making and combining photographs, Rødland’s practice is a subversive one. Familiar images and motifs are tapped for intuitive internal connections and mythological connotations – this often leads to hybrid genres.

With its willfully generic title, this new collection of photographs builds a loose but symbolically saturated weave of culturally recognizable …

How do we experience the landscape today? How does this experience affect our perception of ourselves? And how does this …

We are very pleased to present Matthew Ronay’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. It will be the first time Ronay exhibits in our new space at Ny Carlsberg Vej 68, where his exhibition It Comes In Waves will fill out the entire gallery.

Matthew Ronay’s sculptural works are like mythological visions that embrace the mystical and strange without loosing the ability to impact the viewer on a fundamentally human level. Ronay works with humble materials such as wood, …

It is with great pleasure that we present a selection of works by the gallery’s artists for our summer show 2012. The group show consists of works by ten artists, with a range of mediums including sculpture, video and photography. This is the first time that the works have been presented together or in the gallery itself.

The exhibition does not carry an overall theme and the works instead present themselves in a number of ways, specifically chosen in order …

We are very pleased to present a solo exhibition with new works by Nils Erik Gjerdevik. The exhibition consists of four new large-scale paintings as well as a drawing installation. The works in the show are all characterized by Gjerdevik’s consistent investigations of the potential of abstraction. The paintings contain a myriad of details and a graphic expression typical of Gjerdevik’s earlier praxis but simultaneously they reveal an element of expressive wildness marking a new beginning in his work.

MICHAEL KVIUM TAIL TO TAIL

 17.03 – 05.05.2012

Tail to Tail is Michael Kvium’s first solo exhibition at Nils Stærk. The exhibition consists of new oil paintings and works on paper.

Since the paintings and performances of the 1980′s Michael Kvium’s works have focused on uncompromising descriptions of the aspects of life that we rather hide than expose to observation. In recent years Kvium’s grotesque and perverted depictions of the human body are companied by beautiful landscapes and animal motives. …
