geMALT – curated by Anna Linnea Tydén and Olav Christopher Jenssen

geMALT showcases works by five artists and former students of Olav Christopher Jenssen.

HELENE APPEL has a distinctive practice painting on a 1:1 scale. Appel conjures images that straddle the threshold between realism, sculpture and abstraction. She uses paints and painting techniques that allow her to closely emulate the specificities of each individual subject she paints: the materials she uses, such as oil, watercolour or encaustic, start to resemble the object itself, giving the painted object a physical and three-dimensional presence.

LEONIE TERSCHÜREN creates predominantly large-scale and colour-intensive works on paper and fabric, moving in the realm of immersive abstract painting.

STELLA OH condenses emotional states that are translated into atmospheric, momentary memory images through her large-format paintings. This results in multi-layered veil-like surfaces, sometimes glazing, transparent and light, sometimes opaque and disharmonious.

MATTHIAS JUN WILHELM displays both calligraphic precision and loose spontaneity through his paintings, interweaving motifs through new vocabularies and methods.

HEEHYUN JEONG focuses on observations of phenomena that she finds in nature, translating them using different painting and printing techniques. The beginning of her work often stems from an intensive and precise period of observation, followed by her own understanding and interpretation of nature.
