Krista Rosenkilde Krista Rosenkildes works have evolved much over the last few years. The figural scenes, which was ironic commentary and filled with messages of everyday life and the bourgeois unit and the is changed. Before the story took place in a surrealt universe with equal parts of birthday cakes, camping equipment, gorillas and Danish flags, but now there appears to be zoomed in on the details and the formal imagery that has been latent all the time, plays the main role. The new works, as seen in the solo exhibition "Not so Square" in the gallery in 2010, is about patterns, repetitions, surfaces and space. The works are a kind of 3D wall objects that examines and develops the painting's illusionistic possibilities and perspective elements. In a combination of a painted space and a physical spatial construction, it seems the picture is changing before our eyes. Every moment the shapes can rupture and a transformation undergo. Krista Rosenkildes new work is rooted in 1960s Op Art, with the interest in, by using the simple tools of painting, to challenge our vision and our brain's perception of what is logical in an image. At the same time she draws on an even older tradition of ornamentation and patterns from for example the Islamic art - but in an updated version with references to fashion, computer graphics and wallpaper. With an insistence of hand made geometric shapes in the almost mechanical subjects, makes Krista Rosenkilde able to keep her art open and vibrant. text in Danish (PDF)
