The concept of artwork is constantly challenged with Jacob Dahlgren’s surprising choice and use of materials, or by extending it to a life-long performance

Galerie Anhava is delighted to present a completely new body of work by Jacob Dahlgren in his solo exhibition General & Specific. 

Dahlgren is known for his practice renewing the traditions of modernism with a fresh conceptual approach, always linking abstraction to our social surroundings with the perspective of everyday observations. 

The concept of artwork is constantly challenged with his surprising choice and use of materials, or by extending it to a life-long performance, such as Peinture Abstraite, his commitment to wear only striped T-shirts every day since 2001.

Now, the walls of the gallery welcome works that at first glance look like pure geometric abstractions, with their minimalist forms and bright colours alluding towards concretism. 

These seemingly universal (general) abstractions carry a direct connection to reality: each piece can be traced back to a specific everyday scene from a collection of photographs titled Signs of Abstraction.
