From the Arden Asbæk Gallery exhibition text:
Gain insight into the artist’s process and get the chance to acquire original sketches, when Arden Asbæk Gallery invites you inside the artist studio through a wide variety of sketches by artists from Martin Asbæk Gallery as well as from artists, who have previously exhibited in the project space.
From rough freehand drawings to preliminary studies of largescale works, the exhibition offers insight into the unedited studio of the artist. Often a both hybrid working space as well as a creative sanctuary, the artist studio holds an almost mythological position as a romanticized space, where masterpieces are born. And while galleries normally showcase the finalized, polished work, this group show presents a more spontaneous, everyday-like approach to the work, bringing us closer to the artists and the multitude of ways to work with sketches.
