Isaak Fangel (DK)

Isaak Fangel was founded in 2024 by Simon Isaak and Snorre Fangel, and is located in Copenhagen’s Nørrebro district. From the beginning, the gallery has focused on presenting emerging artists primarily within Scandinavia, often showcasing their first solo exhibitions in the Nordic region. The curatorial identity and exhibition program are developed in close dialogue with the artists, with a particular emphasis on supporting artists early in their careers.

CHART

With a focus on emerging artists, for CHART, Isaak Fangel will present work by Alva Le Febvre, Nadia Gueddouh, and Nicolai Olesen. Alva Le Febvre and Nicolai Olesen are currently completing their master’s degrees in Malmö and Hamburg, respectively, while Nadia Gueddouh graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 2025. Alva Le Febvre will present photographs, Nadia Gueddouh will show paintings, and Nicolai Olesen will exhibit sculptures.

Alva Le Febvre (SE/FR)

Alva Le Febvre's practice centers on still life and explores how objects carry emotional, cultural and gendered meaning. She is particularly interested in everyday objects, play, feminine expressions and collecting, often returning to motifs related to childhood, vulnerability and latent violence. Le Febvre works primarily with analogue photography and hand-prints her works in the darkroom. She frequently combines black-and-white negatives with color printing, photograms and physical materials placed directly onto light-sensitive surfaces, allowing chance and material resistance to influence the final image.

Alva Le Febvre (SE/FR b. 1999, Arles) lives and works in Copenhagen, working primarily with analog photography. She is currently pursuing her Master’s degree at Malmö Art Academy and holds a BA in Photography from HDK-Valand. In addition, she has studied at Fatamorgana – The Danish School of Art Photography. Le Febvre has previously exhibited at Isaak Fangel, Copenhagen; Dummy Online, Copenhagen and Hall Gallery, Gothenburg.

Nadia Gueddouh (DK/DZ)

Primarily working with painting, Gueddouh’s work emerges from silence as both an artistic and existential practice. Gueddouh seeks a space in which painting can arise without predetermined intention — as a movement rather than a motif, as a wordless prayer. In the encounter between body and canvas, a rhythm takes shape that is closer to dance than to sight. Gueddouh is drawn to the instinctive and the pre-linguistic; to the impulse that once led humans into caves to leave their traces in the dark. This necessity — a passion — is not directed toward anything specific, but toward a connectedness with what is already there.

Nadia Gueddouh DK/DZ (born. 1991, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen. She holds an BFA and MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ School of Painting under Ferdinand Ahm Krag. Gueddouh has previously exhibited at Isaak Fangel, Copenhagen; M 100, Odense, the spring exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg and the degree show 2025.

Nicolai Olesen (DK)

Working across painting and sculpture, Olesen develops images and forms that draw on references from art history and visual culture. His works resemble graphics, logos, or warning signs, sometimes suggesting a practical function. He examines how images communicate and how their meaning shifts depending on context.

Nicolai Olesen (born 1998, Denmark) lives and works in Hamburg, where he is currently pursuing his MFA at the Hochschule für bildende Künste. Olesen has previously exhibited at Chess Club, Hamburg; the Apple, Zürich; ST. KINDELEIN, Hamburg; ISCP, New York and Isaak Fangel, Copenhagen.
