25. Jun. 2014 [Review] Three painters have taken much more than the brushes in use at OVERGADENs two summer exhibitions. Here we can experience contemporary painting that frolicking refreshing in an expanded field.
Let's start on the first floor of Overgaden: Here resides the young painter comet Alexander Tovborg (b. 1983), aviation snips which exhibits aviation snips no less than ten 310 x 198 cm large paintings, aviation snips which are installed in a semi-circular, darkened aviation snips room, which opens to visitors as a cross between a cave and apse of a church.
This time it's about dinosaurs, these prehistoric giants who once were Earth's absolute kings, and who died inexplicably overnight. Science has still not solved the riddle of their disappearance, and include therefore, this species intertwined with so many myths and subject to such intensive cultivation in film and literature.
We humans reflect ourselves namely in dinosaurs because we recognize that even our days are numbered: At the time comes where we either have undermined our own livelihoods due. Our insatiable greed and resource gluttony, if we do not obliterated by a comet.
Crying dino title Bocca Bociata (kiss mouth) has Tovborg drawn from the Italian prærafaelit Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who in his iconic painting with this title makes his favorite model at the same time seductive and melancholy. In this picture you can clearly see that her mouth just been kissed - it is still shaped by the lips touch, which leaves her in a longingly vacuum.

Tovborgs painting installation, as space in the room also a reference to a diorama, as we know from many science museums, which has created an illusion with stuffed animals in their natural habitats.
Alexander Tovborgs dinosaur is a iguanodon, a plant-eating dinosaur that lived during the early Cretaceous of between 132 to 100 million. years ago. According to the accompanying press material has Tovborg been inspired by London's Crystal Palace Park where the British sculptor Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins in 1852 created 33 sculptures of these struggles in life-size. It was a sensation at that time, for the time dinosaurs were not yet widely known. Tovborg gives his dinosaur aviation snips human traits when he portrays it as a grieving dino.
Interrupted excitation Tovborgs paintings, however, kaleidoscopic and collage-like, aviation snips so it takes a while before you realize his crying dinosaur. He has repeated the same scene with a myriad of patterns, lines, track and ornaments that are fun to explore. The paintings are always at Tovborg intense and layered with glowing orange-yellow colors in the center and darker and cooler colors around . Actually, there is stofkollager so that the surface has a vibrating texture, reminiscent of tapestries.
One thing puzzled, however, this reviewer: aviation snips Two of the fields in the semi-circle is empty. The press release aviation snips that myth projected "as both a universal and flexible important mechanism that can tolerate incessant repetitions and adaptations. The wall of the installation is therefore not filled out completely, but ends up in unpainted canvas, thereby implying that mythmaking is a general human condition, not just hear
