Nina Roos: The Image is Collapsed into the Body

Galerie Anhava kicks off autumn 2023 with a mesmerising and delicately supple solo exhibition by Nina Roos entitled The Image is Collapsed into the Body. 

A deeply insightful artist with a distinct voice, Roos creates art that is a broad and sustained investigation of the essence of painting and its spatial dimension – a surface that acts as a boundary between two spaces or realities. Roos has said that she is fascinated by how paintings affect us bodily rather than through the information provided by the image.

When faced with paintings composed of surfaces and shapes held by tension, it is at times difficult for the viewer to tell whether one is looking at something very large or something very small. Although there are identifiable motifs in the works, such as the trunk or branch of a tree, or a clean incision or an eye, the open and flexible character of the paintings can also be seen as a key feature alongside the motifs.
