Opening: Saturday, April 6th, from 11 am to 2 pm. ✨
In April, you can experience a double exhibition with two artists in the : Jet-te L. Ranning & Amalia Bille.
The Danish visual artist, Jet-te L. Ranning (1954), exhibits with the solo exhibition « Backwards Forward » - this is her first solo exhibition at Galerie Wolfsen. Jette was educated at the School of Applied Arts, Copenhagen (1975-80), and the School of Visual Arts, New York (1981-83). Today, the artist lives and works in Odense. Ranning’s paintings are a fusion of figurative and abstract elements, built up in several layers of oil, acrylic, and marble dust. The works appear bright, light, and graphic. In the artist’s technique and motifs, there are clear references to the forms of nature, ornamentation, patterns, and textile prints. Jet-te L. Ranning has made her mark nationally but certainly also internationally, and the artist’s works are included in several major art collections worldwide, including The Americas Collection (Miami, USA), Moderna Museet (Stockholm, Sweden), Malmö Konstmuseum (Sweden), Artothek (Germany), Ny Carlsberg Foundation, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, Vejle Art Museum, and Fyns Art Museum. In 2012, Ranning received the prestigious Niels Wessel Bagge Art Foundation Honorary Award at the Louisiana Museum.
The Swedish ceramist, Amalia Bille (b. 1971), holds a bachelor’s degree in textile art and a master’s degree in ceramics from HKD - the art academy in Gothenburg. The artist lives and works with her art in Mölndal near Gothenburg. Bille’s ceramic expression is direct and simple, and the works bear the mark of playfulness and dreaming, but at the same time, they also have undertones of something more disturbing. In her works, she explores the human and existential, while striving to visually interpret and illustrate emotional states and moods. Since 2005, Bille’s works have been exhibited in a wide range of solo and group exhibitions at various galleries in Sweden.
