SMEUÏG / FYLDIG TØRR / DROOG

Jenny Wilson's (1982, GB) and Erlend Larsen's (1975, NO) duo exhibition "SMEUÏG / FYLDIG TØRR / DROOG" (RICH / DRY) gives a chance to see how contrasts give dynamism. Seeing one after the other Wilson's dense, rich, liquidlike abstractions (make us as we could almost go inside a colourful calchedony) and Larsen's sensitive lines and writing-drawing pictures on dry surfaces can give us a sensation of moving inside-outside same as life pulses. If not enough dynamism Larsen shows an other side of his art. His Playmate broideries give a special piquantery to the exhibition.
