Everyday welfare life on paintings from the 60?ies until now
17-03-2011
The art museum Bornholms Kunstmuseum shows a retrospective exhibition with works of Erik Hagens.
The Danish contemporary artist Erik Hagens (born 1940) portraits the everyday life of the Danes in his paintings and tells a story with every single work. The paintings show both the front and the things that go on behind the facade in the Danish everyday welfare life. Erik Hagen?s first works were politically inspired, and in the 1970?ies he began to make more modern and social realistic paintings. His latest works incite thoughtfulness and illustrate, how we are constantly influenced by the media and thereby robbed of our personal space. The exhibition 'Velfærdshverdag i billeder fra 60?erne til nu' (Everyday welfare life on paintings from the 60?ies until now) can be seen on Bornholms Kunstmuseum from 10 April till 26 June 2011.
