Old love

Old love

(2021 - 2024)

100 x 140 cm: mixed media on canvas.

Available through Galleri Juul.

After more than 3 years in progress, Old love has multiple layers of weathering and corrosion. The dominant color is a warm, rusty orange-brown that ranges from deep copper tones to lighter terracotta shades.

I've aimed to create a texture with multiple layers of patina; some areas showing what looks like verdigris (a blueish-green oxidation) peeking through in subtle spots. The surface has a mottled, organic quality reminiscent of naturally aged metal or mineral deposits. Dark burgundy or deep red tones appear in the corners, adding depth to the overall composition.
