Heart and Soil OCo Jenny Carlsson Grip

'In the studio, I think about colour meetings, the roar of pouring rain in a potato field, the squelch of dripping oil goo between the fingers and the very brightest Kings Blue deep.' 'Jenny Carlsson Grip tests the materiality of the oil colour by applying layer upon layer and trying to bring forth a discovery. She paints with brushes, spatulas, broad scrapers and directly with her hands. Ploughing the colour. Weeds, grass and vegetation in very physical form have been attached to the paintings. The works become tactile and open up in a sensory and sincere way. We can follow her movements as she paints. A pulse beating. Her paintings have a rhythmic and a musical depth that bursts up in a short staccato whose application seeps into the body.'

With high quality documentations of paintings,
