Charlotte Binau I love the physical form and unpredictable character of graphics - loud and alive.The same texture, but more thoughtfully cool, I seek in photography, collages and other media. To be tasted and felt. As silent poetry. Quates about Charlotte Binaus pictures: “Beautiful and very versatile!” “aesthetic and exudes hidden messages” “many possibel interpretations” “they open up for some interpretations to being a human being” “I’m stimulated and delighted” “Beautiful and silent” “pure, simple, beautiful” Please contact me at for further information www.charlottebinau.dk charlotte@basicly.dk +45 61728124 Hvad man husker, photography, 50x50 cm.

Web: www.ninarygaard.dk   E-mail: n.rygaard@gmail.com Nina Rygaard (1975) is an acclaimed self-taught painter with several larger solo exhibitions in her catalogue. Her motives are abstract-expressionistic, but realistic shapes are revealed between the many layers and in her organic strokes.

Her use of both charcoal, sand, chalk and filler gives her oil- and acrylic paintings a deep structure and physicality that almost make them transcend the frame and invites the viewer to reach out and strike the surface. Her method and choice of material shows her deep fascination and inspiration from nature and the powers it possess.

MICHAEL KOFOD Glass Artist mail@micko.dk  www.micko.dk  (+45) 21 78 33 72

The aim of Michael Kofod's   glass art is to create joy. Quite   simple! Art to humans.    Michael always uses warm colors and organic   shapes presented in a harmonious design, but there   must also be something to brake the harmony. As   Michael usually says: "My glass art is added a sprinkle   of wildness."    The nature of the glass with its fine color, transparency and reflection of light, are Michael’s raw material. The transparency for example he uses to create depth and a surface to play with light refractions and reflection. Then the colors play with each other and give the art life, and it have different expressions depending on the angle, the art is viewed from.

The Danish countryside is Michael's main source of inspiration. It is beautiful, shimmering, wild, unpredic-  table, irrepressible and without straight lines – and like   this Michael would like his art to be interpreted.

Can you combine  wildness and harmony?  That is exactly what Michael Kofod’s   glass art do.

Julianne Røn Hoffmann was born and raised in Esbjerg, Denmark. On a holiday to Hungary, where her grandfather comes from, she began as a 10 year old to draw intense. The interest in drawing and painting are then grown and has become a big part of her life, and means of expression. The creativity and talent for drawing, painting and design led her in 2003 to graduate as a Multimedia designer. Creativity also claims that she has produced a large number of illustrations and paintings. The creativity she has from her parents, both painter and illustrator, and she grew up in a creative environment, but it is also stored in the genes, when her grandfather's cousin is the renowned painter Mogens Gissel, which among other things has exhibited at AROS in Aarhus . HOPE and justice is her biggest inspiration! - Which is reflected in her designs, colors and hopefully a feeling in the viewer. She is inspired by nature, nature's beautiful colors, light and dark, good and evil. Man inspires her, women, beautiful bodies and the man's masculinity. The mystery of the human person and human mind. You can buy art by Juliane Hoffmann at www.livingshop.dk

Web: www.lill-thelin.dk

My work is a reaction to the over-emphasis on beauty, youth and faĂ§ade in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society. The motives are introverted and thought provoking, some of which are portraits and some of old rope knots which I use as a metaphor for the human condition. The portraits usually have rather dark or sullen expressions to express tension and although I use bright colours for these, I use them in such a way that they appear to fight against each other creating a feeling of unease in the painting. The use of colour is often more subtle in the rope paintings as I concentrate on expressing the ageing process celebrating the ageing human face. I see the same faces in the knots, with wrinkles, expression and stories.

BETTY SOFIE NIELSEN When I start a painting, I have an idea about the subject, but during the process I ofent let myself get carried away by my emotions and the interaction of colours on the canvas, so the image can be completely different than my orginally imagion. I like a Little crooked or crazy, and the viewer is allowed to wonder what the point with the image is.

GINA MICHAELLS www.ginamichaellsart.dk

MAJA KRONBLAD Maja Kronblad, born 1971 in Odense, Denmark. I like to work with bright colors and create contrasts in the paintings while I often experiment with materials such as yarn, stone and metal. I paint in several different styles, both abstract and figurative.  I try to give the viewer a snapshot of a situation for example an embrace, a city in

the sunset or a woman running. Thus, I hope that the viewer gets a little feel for the mood I'm trying to pass on with my brush strokes. A painting made by me, whether it is designed to provoke, surprise or just give you a nice feeling because you think it looks good, is always made with the heart. I paint because I love it and I hope it shows!

TINA LUND CHRISTIANSEN tina@mmap.dk  www.gallerilund.dk  www.facebook.com/TinaLundChristiansen

Tina gathers impressions, stores them and then retrieves them to begin her interpretation and narrative. The inner moods and feelings make their way to the surface where they become present. Tina Christiansen is an artist who is at home in her creative process and figurative universe, but at the same time you also get the impression of her being a dreamer trying to realise the dreams or at least to let them live longer than just in the dream. In her nature pictures, Tina reveals herself as a good observer, and she obtains a good perspective and a really good depth. Her pictures emerge harmonious and welcoming with well-matched colours. A feeling of energy, freedom and balance meets us when experiencing her works. She is able to capture both subtle parts and powerful elements. Her motifs give food for thought for all of us to realise we have to protect nature for the sake of our descendants.

SOLVEIG KARLSEN Web: www.solveigkarlsen.dk Phone: (+45) 98 48 00 20

Email: karlsen46@hotmail.com

Solveig Karlsen is a naturalistic artist from Northern Jutland in Denmark. She started painting in 2012 and is often inspired by nature and other living beings in her surroundings. Her works are usually based on a photo, and from there her paint brushes start telling a little story. But sometimes it can also be leftover paint from the creation of another painting that decides the next motif. That is the case with the painting ”Elephant beer”, which was painted with the leftover paint from ”Pause at Haurdal”. The most important thing for Solveig is to let coincidences control her brush from start to end. That way she avoids being labelled as a certain kind of artist. She enjoys the challenge of doing something new and different every time.

SANNE FRIIS Web: www.sannefriis.dk  E-mail: sanne-friis@hotmail.com   Phone: (+45) 25 52 18 89 Sanne Friis is a professional Danish artist. She paints in a naivistic and highly recognisable style. Many of her paintings are a tribute to love and women that are aware of their own femininity. They often contain stories from real life – either Sanne Friis’ own experiences or those of good friends. The artist has lived a great part of her life in a womans world, but for the last four years she has been in a steady relationship to a man. That is why a man now occasionally - may appear in the painting.
