about Lotte Kjoeller

Exhibition. The interim period was filled by a longer stay in Paris. First I was in Latvia at the Sympiosium in a fantastic castle in the rugged Latvian landscape, where my work "The Pyramid" of homemade, handmade cotton paper and Latvian felt still adorns the wall - see below:

From there I went directly to Paris, where I stayed for a long time and where I went to the art academy "Ecole des Beaux Artes". Since I came home at the end of 1998, I have exhibited in many beautiful places (see CV), and have a busy day as an artist. In 2003, I then became a member of the Association of Visual Artists and the Danish Writers' Association's illustrator group, and therefore have the honour of being able to call myself a professional visual artist. In recent years, I have not only been successful in Denmark, but also exhibited and sold abroad.

From 2002, my works become increasingly abstract and imaginative, but always in an expressive figurative style, where space is also used mentally. I now regularly use the collage form in my paintings, where they are part of a universe with a hierarchical perspective, and where color creates depth in space just like in Italian medieval art; For I draw my inspiration both in the present and in the past.

I always paint in series - series that can seem quite different, because my art develops in step with my own development. And that's why, art never stands still… Common to the series is that they always deal with people. I draw much of my inspiration from everyday life and often express common human feelings and moods.

My main purpose is to tell a story! But I leave the interpretation and the experience open! I always leave it up to the viewer to form his own story - whether it agrees with my own, is of less importance. Now I will therefore leave the word to art historian, mag.art. Lise-Lotte Blom, who wrote this about my art in Kunstavisen, 2008:

"Lotte Kjoellers paintings are almost always inspired by human relationships. Often one or two people are depicted in a situation together. Many take place out-of-doors, many in an enclosed interior. Music, relaxation, and dreams appear in many of the works. In 2008 the artist made a series of paintings with the collective title 'Change', to be understood as transformation and change-ie Man's transformation throughout a lifetime. This is expressed through the motive, and the colours are vivacious and expressive. Occasionally gold and silver are used as a scintillating emphasis of movement in a direct or transfered meaning.

Lotte Kjoeller's sculptures, made between 1995 and 2008, are all, as is the case with the paintings, modelled from life. The material is clay with chamotte. The figures are fired, and some are glazed several times with the artists own recipe. Many of the figures, for example 'Grubleren', in fired clay with 'chamotte' 47x21x17cm, expresses marked and speculative sensuality."

I could not express this better myself! My work must be seen - and here you have the opportunity to look at a chosen selection, which I hope that you will enjoy!
