ANNA BJERGER – SILENCE
2019-04-01Bjerger’s search for motifs begins with piles of books, magazines and old photographs. Redundant images get a new life in Bjerger’s universe. There isn’t a typical Anna Bjerger painting. People see the themes they want to see. To some, she paints forests and mountains, to some it’s paintings of girls. Bjerger’s subject matter is wide ranging. She paints portraits and landscapes but she also paints toilet rolls. When she does paint sunsets or other seemingly easily accessible subjects, it’s probably for a very different reason than we imagine. It can be a detail or a whole that catches Bjerger’s attention, whether it’s a tennis ball or a landscape it’s always painted with equal respect. For Bjerger’s exhibition Silence she used a square format as a starting point. The format has been essential for Bjerger’s search for both subject and composition through the series.
