Sergej Jensen
4.9 – 2.11 2008
Sergej Jensen’s minimal paintings draw on a wide range of materials and formal references. Jensen uses the material and its possible sews, bleaches, stretches or stains to create lyrical, abstract compositions.
Fabrics like linen, silk, wool or flags and old moneybags are used and treated almost as recycled ready-mades. The canvases have many tactile gestures, and flecks of wool or frayed edges become part of the artist’s palette for his paintings.
In addition to the minimal paintings, Jensen will for the first time present one of his self-portraits, and hereby juxtapose his different approaches to painting. Jensen will also present a new film and a few sculptural elements.
The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Bergen Kunsthall and includes more than 40 works produced between 2001 and 2008.
Sergej Jensen (b. 1973 Maglegård, Denmark) lives and works in Berlin. Jensen has recently exhibited at Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2008), Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2007), White Cube, London (2007), 4th Berlin Biennial (2006), 'Momentum Nordic Festival of Contemporary Art', Moss (2006).
