Nils Brakchi b. 1968. Visual artist and musician living in Copenhagen.
Nils Brakchi's field of work spans from painting to music production - with an overlap between the two consisting of a long series of music videos published under the name Mofosteel.
The visual art is founded in a figurative tradition, with a focus on contrasting elements and negative spaces that create rhythmic and organic compositions - often with techniques partially borrowed from printmaking - yet mostly executed with acrylic paint on canvas or paper.
For about 15 years, nature has been a continued theme for Nils Brakchi, and especially the nature resort Amager Common (Amager Faelled) has been used as subject matter for a long series of more or less surreal landscapes
The idea of "rewilding" - a process in which nature reconquers lost areas from human civilisation - runs like an undercurrent in Nils Brakchi´s relation to nature, and therefore also in his work.
