Alice Folker Gallery is pleased to present a trio presentation of richly layered oil paintings by Marie Rud Rosenzweig, alluring siren heads in bronze by Ragnhild May, along with works by Catherine Anholt exploring themes of motherhood, family and nature, revealing unique textures, perspectives and linework reminiscent of ancient murals.

Marie Rud Rosenzweig (DK)

Marie Rud Rosenzweig explores the world through what we, as humans, have placed within it, examining how objects carry narratives of systems, behavior, desire, and socioeconomic structures. She draws inspiration from literature, film, art history, and language - from the Renaissance pursuit of anatomical essence to minimalism’s idea of pure form, which she translates into new motifs. In 2023, she received Jens Søndergaard & Hustrus Mindelegat at SMK (Statens Museum for Kunst) and her works are in the collection of the Danish Parliament, the New Carlsberg Foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation.

Marie Rud Rosenzweig (b. 1991, Denmark) has an MFA from the Funen Academy of Fine Arts, Odense; Universität der Künste, Berlin, and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Previous exhibitions include Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand, Copenhagen, Cassius & Co., London, Golsa Gallery, Oslo and Mamoth Gallery, London.

Ragnhild May (DK)

Ragnhild May combines different media such as sound, sculpture, video, installation, and performance with conceptual rigor, sensitivity and humor. Her work encompasses technology, science fiction, feminism, and sound theory. The use of sound within a context of visual art is of particular significance to her practice, as her work draws on the specificity and history of sound. She has received the Carl Nielsen Talent Award, was part of ‘The Young Artistic Elite’ by the Danish Arts Foundation, and she is in the collection of Fuglsang Art Museum, Museum for Contemporary Art Roskilde, Horsens Art Museum, and the New Carlsberg Foundation.

Ragnhild May (b. 1988, Denmark) has an MFA from Bard College, New York and is completing her Ph.D. in Artist Research at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen. Previous exhibitions include Tabakalera, San Sebastián; Die Raum, Berlin; Rønnebæksholm, Næstved; SMK, Copenhagen; Bauhaus Museum, Berlin and New Museum, NYC.

Catherine Anholt (IE)

Catherine Anholt works from a visual diary kept since childhood, creating richly layered, dreamlike paintings shaped by her extensive travels and encounters with diverse visual cultures. Her work explores themes of motherhood, family and nature, and reveals unique textures, perspectives and linework reminiscent of ancient murals. Alongside her painting practice, she is widely known for illustrating more than 200 children’s books with her husband, Laurence Anholt.

Catherine Anholt (b. 1958, Ireland) gained a First-Class Honours degree in Fine Art from Falmouth School of Art in Cornwall and has a Master’s Degree from the Royal College of Art. Her work has been exhibited in London, Berlin, Busan, Mallorca and Norway, with solo exhibitions in Seoul and Copenhagen.
