Danish artists are making it big in London these days – from young, up and coming to the more established like Per Kirkeby, who after 50 years as a painter has his first ever mayor exhibition in London. Tate Modern is just so über cool and I couldn’t help feeling very patriotic when looking at his amazing paintings hanging there in the middle of London.
Another Danish painting is on display somewhere not quite as extravagant –a wall in my little house with the red door. One of my favourite artists Dorte Naomi has painted it.
Not yet on show anywhere else in London. But when I had it framed the lady in the shop got so many requests that I am sure it’s just a matter of time.
Any way if you happen to be in Copenhagen there is a change to see more of Dorte Naomi’s poetic, dramatic play with demons and masks at the interesting gallery Falkener Project’s summer exhibition (until July the 3rd).
Per Kirkeby - Tate Modern until September the 12th.
