HEIDI JAHR KIRKEBY REVIEW

“Heidi Jahr Kirkeby has a great range in the artistic expression. In the studio, she shows three directions; pure abstraction, impressionistic plant paintings with an abstract base, and portraits of indigenous people with varying degrees of abstraction, mainly in black, white and gray. – My core will shine through anyway, she says when I ask if she’s not afraid the audience will think she’s spreading too much. And of course she is right in that, because there is a nerve in her expression where the paintings serve as a foundation for the portrait series of strong women from different indigenous groups. If you look closely you will find various ornaments in the portraits as well. They unfold with a few color tones, drawn up with strong lines and beautiful wash drawings in the surfaces.”
