Experimental painting/ collage in Raadvad/earth pigments, structures and materials
Raadvad 40, 2800 Kongens Lyngby
June 14-15, 10am-4pm
We have a special focus on the soil, that which grows from fungi, roots, nature's treasure trove of various structures. Especially in this workshop we develop different structures in the materials inspired by the textural world of nature in the abstract or more figurative compositions. We use various earth pigments, ash, coal in combination with more lasering liquid colors that create exciting surfaces and sensuous material clashes.
I have found new simple methods to step by step build picturesque collages. Over the past several years I have developed collage techniques that are particularly liberating for artistic development. By tearing, cutting and joining painted and drawn parts, new unpredictable compositions are created.
We work with simple collage exercises to more put together more materials, textures, lines and faces. There are many exciting possibilities in working with collage that cannot be painted.
You'll learn how to use collage/mixed media's amazing capabilities to modulate images rather than a few unexpected material clashes.
I also call them transformation pictures, as the images can change all the time with interesting and exciting results.
It is a guided journey where we work with certain meditative and liberating exercises also with space for our own free play.
We use color pigments, Golden acrylic, ash, gouache, graphite, dry pastels and the most delicious oil pastels from Sennelier to create magical textures lines and surfaces in our compositions. (the same materials I use in my own work) There will be many different interesting paper types, cardboard, canvas and other things that can be freely used. By using different materials in layers upon layers, exciting contrasts and expressions are achieved that would otherwise not be possible.

About Sofie Børsting
Jeg arbejder primært med maleri og mixed-media collager i dynamikken mellem det abstrakte og det figurative.
Livsfaser, indre tilstande bearbejdes og undersøges frit og ekspressivt i den maleriske proces. Føden til at give de indre processer udtryk finder jeg ofte i det ydre landskab. Det kan være den helt nære natur som mønstrer og lys i en vandpyt eller geologiske lag i en sten fundet på de daglige gåture til billeder fra det store uendelige univers, der konstant nærer det billedskabende arbejde. Linjer og indtryk fra naturen som bjergrygge, floder, spejlinger og strukturer indfinder sig ofte i billede processen og har dannet et slags eget sprog med symbolske betydninger. Gennem materiale eksperimenter i lag på lag, hvor der påføres, fjernes, skrabes og rives fra hinanden og sammensættes, holdes maleriet og mixed media arbejdet åbent og frit.
Jeg arbejder med en blanding af intuitiv, ekspressiv, meditativ og aktiv lytning i maleriet. Processen er ofte meget overraskende, farver, linjer og former dukker op og guider vejen.
Taktile kvaliteter optager mig jeg og udforsker konstant nye kombinationer af materialer som aske, jordpigmenter, bløde pasteller, blæk, blyanter og æg tempera.
Jeg forsøger at komme ind under det sete og ind til det usete og meget optaget af hvordan dybere spirituelle processer og nærvær kan videreføres til det fysiske materiale.
