Nanna Abell (DK)

Nanna Abell’s sculptural practice is often astonishing. Bringing together over-, mis-, or unused objects, Abell builds up assemblages of ready-mades that are filled with contradiction and surprise. The artist appropriates objects, removing existing context by altering their forms. In doing so, the sculptural elements enter a dialogue with each other while maintaining references to their original context. With this method, Abell often explores themes of contemporary consumer culture, luxury, and seduction. Abell will also present a site-specific work at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen for CHART 2022.

Nanna Abell (b. 1985) lives and works in Vordingborg, Denmark. In 2014, Abell was awarded a grant of from Nils Wessel Bagges Kunstfond. Besides Denmark, she has exhibited in Belgium, Germany, Sweden, the UK the USA, and Mongolia. The artist is represented in the public collections of Horsens Kunstmuseum, New Carlsberg Foundation, and Copenhagen Municipality, Denmark.

Jean Marc Bustamante (FR)

Jean-Marc Bustamante is acclaimed for his large-scale landscape photographs and semi-conceptual works though in recent years, however, the French artist has turned towards painting. Bustamante has produced an impressive body of work, some of which the gallery proudly presents for CHART. His latest paintings carry a sense of immediacy and lightness, much like his drawings do. At the same time, the works, painted on gesso coated panels, have an especially tactile, almost sculptural quality to them.

Jean-Marc Bustamante (b. 1952) lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland. He represented France at the Venice Biennale, 2003, and participated in the Sao Paolo Biennale, 1994 and in Documenta 8, 9, and 10. He is represented in the public collections of Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; Centre Pompidou, France; and the MET, USA.

Jiří Georg Dokoupil (CZ)

Being part of the German “Jungen Wilden” movement in the late 1970s, Czech artist Jiří Georg Dokoupil has developed radically distinctive approaches to non-figurative painting, without restricting his practice to one coherent style. Dokoupil’s “Soap Bubble-Paintings” are an excellent example of his diverse and innovative image-making techniques. The artist makes the pigment-filled soap bubbles burst on the surface of the canvas producing an almost photographic quality which becomes animated by the changing light.

Jiří Georg Dokoupil (b. 1954) lives and works between Berlin, Germany, Prague, Czech Republic, Madrid, Spain, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2012, he was awarded the Lovis-Corinth-Prize. He is represented in the public collections of Hammer Museum, USA; CAC Málaga, Spain; Centre Pompidou, France; The National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea and Horsens Kunstmuseum, Denmark.

Helmut Federle (CH)

Helmut Federle’s artistic practice is informed by philosophy, spirituality, and a fascination with nature. The Swiss painter has long worked within the tradition of geometric abstraction and often explores the relationship between balance and imbalance, symmetry and asymmetry, and order and disorder. Most recently, Federle has produced a series of modestly sized canvases which carry a more diffused and hazy quality.

Helmut Federle (b. 1944) lives and works between Vienna, Austria and Camaiore, Italy. He represented Switzerland in 1997 at the Venice Biennale, 1997. He is represented in the public collections of Tate Modern, UK; Museum of Modern Art, USA; Centre Pompidou, France; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; National Gallery of Australia and Moderna Museet, Sweden.
