Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2026, Martin Asbæk Gallery presents new works by the prominent Danish visual artists Kasper Eistrup and Maria Rubinke. Both artists share a deep dedication to the physicality of their chosen media. Vintage paper and exposed canvas meet heavy bronze sculptures that are each meticulously shaped by hand before casting. The presentation highlights their material sensitivity and distinct artistic voices and craftsmanship.

Maria Rubinke (DK)

Maria Rubinke (b. 1985) works primarily with bronze and marble, in which she lets the incomprehensible and chaotic in our subconscious emerge in her surreal characters. The characters are often based on fairytales, but always with Rubinke’s characteristic twist.Maria Rubinke is behind several public and private commissions, including the monumental bronze door for Restaurant Alchemist, a four meter tall polar bear in white marble at Horsens harbour and most recently for Tivoli Gardens and Universitetsbyen in Aarhus (May 2026).

Maria Rubinke (b. 1985) is a Danish sculptor, working primarily in bronze and marble. Her work can be found in collections including EMMA Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Finland; Haugar Vestfold Museum, Norway; Vejle Kunstmuseum, Denmark; CLAY – Museum of Ceramic Art, Denmark, and Bornholm Museum of Art, Denmark.

Kasper Eistrup (DK)

Kasper Eistrup’s work largely adheres to a formula that delicately counterposes elements of order and chaos. Each work consists different methods and materials as well as of fields of separate and distinct visual expressions, that ranges from meticulous depictions of people or objects to pure, emotional abstraction.In 2018, Eistrup was commissioned to paint a portrait of HRH The Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, which was revealed at the opening of the artist’s solo exhibition Fragmentarium at The National Portrait Gallery at Frederiksborg Castle. Since then, notable solo exhibitions include Kastrupgaardsamlingen (2025) and the group show Kunstnerkolonien at Nivågaards Malerisamling (2025).

Kasper Eistrup (b. 1973) is a Danish visual artist, working within painting and installation art primarily. Eistrup has had exhibitions in Denmark, Sweden, China and Spain, most recently a large solo show at CCA Andratx in Mallorca (2025) and as part of Kunstnerkolonien at Nivaagaard Malerisamling (2025).
