Britt-Marie Tidemand

“There is a dark sensual fascination to Britt-Marie Tidemand’s paintings” also in the ones she presents at M.A.D.S. Art Gallery during the EMERGING Art exhibition. Similar in their colors and in the lines that compose the subjects, the three scenes are the representation of the Swedish artist’s artistic essence. Each piece shows a dreamland atmosphere in which throughout the colorful background some naked bodies easily fluctuate. Softer is the giving of the lines composing the characters, opposed to the ones of the dark and deep brushes creating the background. ‘Over my Bed’; ‘Hold Me’ and ‘Hanging Around’ refigure the artist’s emotions and feelings to which she wants the viewers to look at. The faces of the main characters of the scenes seem to be sad and grotesque absorbed in their feelings and emotions. Looking attentively at the bodies is it possible to enter the scene, to feel and hear the same sentiments. The sinuousness of the curves into the ‘sea of fire’ in which they lay, is something the artist has created in order to permit the viewers to see the positive also into the difficulties of life.
