His creative journey began as a way to process the experience of death and loss, which gave him the courage to explore his hidden talent. The personal depth of his experiences is clearly reflected in his drawings, where each brushstroke or ink mark tells its own story. Through his works, Danni opens up a unique, drawn universe that both fascinates and moves.

Samuell Karim  -  Paintings

Samuell is engaged in exploring human complexity through abstract-expressive portraits. Using predominantly acrylics, his work is an organic dialogue with the canvas, revealing both the luminous and shadowy corners of the psyche. Each piece is a layered compilation of emotional states, driven by his desire to further approximate and integrate authentic being.

He aim is to provoke conversations about the multifaceted nature of human identity and to break down barriers of pretentiousness and superficiality so that we may relate to each other on deeper levels.

Frederik Schock  - Paintings

Frederik is a self-taught visual artist, author, and musician from the south part of Sjælland, now residing in Odense.With a self-taught approach to both visual art, writing, and music, he constantly explores the boundaries between the understandable and the incomprehensible, the abstract and the figurative, the dark and the light. His paintings are colorful whirlwinds of dreamlike, unique motifs, where each piece tells its own story, allowing the viewer to interpret it on their own terms.

Like a reverse archaeologist, Frederik works by adding layer upon layer in his creations, whether on canvas, in text, or in music. He samples, erases, and restarts in an endless process that reveals secrets through additions rather than excavations. This approach makes his works alive and dynamic, with each new layer contributing to a deeper understanding of the incomprehensible.

Emil Tonne Staal  - Paintings and sculptures

Emils artwork is inspired and captured from his deep interest in intercultural communication. In his paintings you often find layers of esoteric mystic and symbols witch reveals Emils philosophical and spiritual aproach to life and his love for nature and animals.

Emil Works also with poetry, music and travel around the world, making Documentaries about Art, Music and culture.

Emil Is the Founder Mindmachine Atelier & Art Gallery and has exhibited his unik Art in various galleries in Denmark as well as in Mexico, Spain and Italy.

Frederik Michaelsen  Paintings

Frederik grew up in West Funen and lives in Odense. He graduated from The Animation Workshop in Viborg in Computer Graphics in 2023. He works with 3D animation and computer games where his focus has been on technical art. At the same time, he also works with the expression and possibilities of traditional painting in acrylic as well as thread on canvas.

Frederik Michaelsen exhibits paintings where he explores the possibilities of analogue painting with a revisit to the theme of nature as opposed to the digital. He uses the tactile expression and form of the painting as well as the fleetingness of movement as a return to something fundamentally physical rather than the digital with which he also works.

Holger Klintholm - Photo Prints

Holger Klintholm er en Odensebaseret kunstner, der skaber tankevækkende værker inden for landart, streetart, installation, assemblage og fotografi.

Hans kunst kommenterer vores samtid, hvor viden og videnskab ofte forvandles til tilfældig data på internettet, hvilket især udforskes i værket Bogkirkegaarden.

Klintholms gadekunst er æstetiske indgreb i det offentlige rum, mens hans installationer omdanner tørre tal og statistik til personlige skæbner, som betragteren må forholde sig til.Fotografierne fungerer som mikroinstallationer, der kredser om moderskab og kærlighed, forstørret og forvrænget for at skabe eftertanke. I sine assemblager finder han skønheden i tilsyneladende ligegyldige rester og affald, og giver dem ny værdi. Klintholm er tilknyttet kunstnergruppen ULYS og fotogruppen The Hamster Journal, hvor han bidrager med sin unikke evne til at forvandle det oversete til kunst.
