Galleri Bo Bjerggaard (DK)

Founded in 1999, Galleri Bo Bjerggaard represents established international artists alongside some of the most significant Danish painters of recent generations. The gallery’s program focuses primarily on established artists, mainly working with painting and sculpture. Originally based in Copenhagen’s Meatpacking District for 18 years, the gallery relocated in 2025 to new premises at Sankt Knuds Vej 23C on Frederiksberg. In addition to its exhibition program, the gallery runs Ekely, a curated shop offering prints, editions, books, and ceramics by gallery artists and invited guests.

The bedroom is one of the most private spaces we have. Here the body lets go. We sleep, love, dream, grieve and sometimes die. When the door closes, we step out of social life and into a space where roles and identities lose their importance. In art history the bed often appears in moments of vulnerability: Munch's sick child, the dying beloved in Hodler, Van Gogh’s quiet bedroom, and the exposed intimacy of Tracey Emin. Inspired by Knausgaard’s reflections on dreams, the artists explore the bedroom as a place of transition between closeness and separation, life and loss.

Anna Bjerger (SE)

Anna Bjerger’s paintings focus on fleeting details from everyday life. Small, ordinary moments become the starting point for works that transform the familiar into subtle atmospheres and textures. Working in oil on aluminium, she balances the physicality of painting with the psychological resonance of observation. Her works invite quiet reflection, encouraging viewers to see the poetic potential hidden in ordinary, often overlooked moments.

Swedish artist Anna Bjerger (b. 1973, Skallsjö) lives and works in Småland. She earned a BA from Central St. Martins, London (1997) and an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (2001). Her work is in major collections, including Louisiana Museum of Modern Art , Moderna Museet, SMK, and Stedelijk Museum.

Tal R (DK)

Tal R’s expressionistic work is immersed in a visual language that considers the figurative and its inherent mystery as a salient motif within his sensual and intuitive images. His practice broadly includes painting, drawing, collage, prints, sculpture and installation. The luminous quality of the paintings is expressed through the application of lusciously applied oil paint. Foregoing prefabricated black colour, he combines colours to create a bespoke ‘black’ within his palette, further eliciting ‘the feeling of colours colliding with other colours’. The naiveté of outsider art and the experience of the everyday has formed his approach drawn from past and present––ranging from nostalgia for the streets, bars, and sex shops of Copenhagen to the intimacy of the boudoir, where nude figures recline, and to the home, where accumulated bric-à-brac resides.

Danish artist Tal R (b. 1967, Tel Aviv) lives and works in Copenhagen. He studied at Billedskolen, Copenhagen, and graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2000). Formerly a professor at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, his work is held in major collections including Art Institute of Chicago, Centre Pompidou, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, and The National Gallery DK.
