Interior Alphabet: Opening: Friday 13 December 5–8PM | Vester Farimagsgade 6
Current exhibition
Overview
OTP Copenhagen is proud to present Interior Alphabet, a group exhibition by Lydia Ericsson Wärn, Tanja Nis-Hansen and Tao Siqi, exploring the connection between communicative impulse and the figure in contemporary painting.
Lydia Ericsson Wärn (b. 1994, Stockholm; SE) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. The artist is a graduate of the Hfbk Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, where she studied under the supervision of Amy Sillman and Monika Baer. Encompassing painting, video and installation, Ericsson Wärn's practice explores the image of subject as object, the gaze, as well as interior and exterior perspectives on a body and its functions.
Tanja Nis-Hansen (b. 1988, Faxe; DK) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. The artist graduated with an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts, Hamburg under the supervision of professor Jutta Koether. Working between the mediums of painting, text, and performance, Nis-Hansen takes as her subject the body’s presence amid contemporary capitalism: anxious, waiting, resting, ill or non-functioning.
Tao Siqi (b. 1994, Wuhan, Hubei province; CN) lives and works in Shanghai, China. The artist graduated with a BA in painting from the Hubei Institute of Fine Art. Siqi’s paintings are rooted in her fascination with the body and flesh as a medium of sensibility and sexuality. By creating a tension between beauty and destruction, tenderness and violence, temptation and taboo, her surreal scenes inspire a provocative viewing experience and conjure emotional unease, flickering between pleasure and pain.
