26.januar 2022 Tað er sjálvdan, at eg missi yvirlitið - also í øllum førum, tá tað snýr seg um ummæli av egnum avriki Men nú havi eg also mist yvirlitið í rokanum av ummælum úr París - Ikki tí, at eg ikki var greið yvir kvalitetin á hesi listini - als ikki. Eri bara ikki von við, at onnur skrivandi síggja tað líka væl. Eg havi google-transleytað eitt sindur - og hetta er bara ein lítil partur:
“…In France and in Paris, this invasion of Faroese art is a great novelty. And the choice of the pattern of light to show it comes at the right time, arising in the gray atmosphere of January, and in the dark period that the world is experiencing today, but above all defining an unsuspected art from the far north of Europe. With only four artists, the variety of a production barely a hundred years old gives a glimpse of the richness and uniqueness of a culture where everything is to be discovered. Exhibited almost exclusively in Denmark (very few), sometimes in London, the artists are not shown elsewhere in Europe. An astonishing finding as the quality of the works is great…”
“..Zacharias Heinesen is another central figure in Faroese art, in the genre of landscape, which tends, this time, towards abstraction. His favorite motif is the coastal village often captured from the window of his studio. The shore is treated with colors that are sometimes pale and melancholy, sometimes resplendent. Free Landscape from 1993 is a large format that gives pride of place to the sea and its shades of blue, while Tinganes, Tórshavn (2020) shows the rocky promontory where the Faroese parliament and some of the oldest dwellings are located. of the capital. In each of Heinesen's canvases, one can easily detect the weather, which can, in the space of a few minutes, go from bright sunshine to thick fog or downpour…”
“…Faroese art being only a hundred years old, Kinna Poulsen has decided to focus on its flourishing contemporary creation. If nature is always a creative important vector, the paintings presented are distinguished by their light gushing, with saturated colors at Iversen or a game absolutely fascinating three-dimensional, particularly marked at Kunoy especially in this incredible Study which dispenses an amazing, magnetic yellow..”
“Do not be fooled by the photographs of the works of Rannvá Kunoy, because they only show one of the many aspects that her paintings take on as the viewer wanders. To understand the optical games set up by the artist, it will therefore be necessary to go and see “Un brilliance de soleil” at Le Bicolore – Maison du Denmark in Paris, an exhibition dedicated to the art of the Faroe Islands through the presentation of works by four artists from this isolated archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean..”
“In Hansina Iversens paintings, the curve replaces the angle, and a circulation takes place between the organic forms. In the paintings, which she produced for the exhibition, her palette sparkles with light and softness, her pastel hues playing with bright red tints. Her paintings move away from an abstract representation of the landscape and becom colour to cover the canvas with a kind of soothing cloud, producing an extreme light..”
“In Hansina Iversens paintings, the light is visible even more spontaneously. Abstract, the four canvases she exhibits at the Maison du Denmark date from 2021 (small or large formats, which never bear a title) are presented as spaces open to all possible interpretations. Iversen deploys over the entire surface, in an almost choreographic manner, organic, colourful and resplendent forms, as if swept by the winds. Sensual, even carnal, her joyful works also fascinate with their subtle construction. They superimpose and create a dialogue between solid areas and brush strokes which, above all, suggest the subtle and precise movements of the artist in the process of painting. Dazzlingly fresh, the artist's pastel palette uncovers a training in the Nordic countries…”
