Lise Blomberg

Mogadishni Cph, Copenhagen

Paths in the garden

Mogadishni CPH is proud to present the third solo exhibition in the gallery by Danish artist Lise Blomberg: “Paths in the garden”. The exhibition will feature new paintings and drawings all showing landscape- and garden scenarios populated by humans and hybrids. The plants and flowers are in some cases close studies of nature, in other cases stylized landscapes from photographs. The title of the exhibition “Paths in the garden” can be understood as the journey the human being takes through life or the world itself - and in the works small existential dramas are played out.

Lise Blomberg’s painterly narratives can be found in the potential field situated between dream and reality where the nature-romantic scenery is characterized by the Nordic nature and its flora as a framework for a psychological description of the existence. The both romantic and dreamy figurative language of the works indicates a longing for nature, an escapism, which is being transformed into dreamlike sequences. The motives are characterized by a kind of stylization and a linkage of different painterly “languages” and also the incorporation of “foreign elements” in the form of, for example, “bird-people” who contribute to the disappearance of any sense of safety linked to the recognizable representations. Inspiration from both surrealism and from the world of cinema can clearly be traced in Blomberg’s expression, which is not only playing with collage-like breaches or ‘cross-cuts’ in the pictorial space but also with close-ups and distortions of proportion. In front of the works the viewer is placed in a voyeur-like position allowing an insight into universal emotions, natural states of being, existential conditions and relations – communicated through a psychological narration about the paths in the garden.
