Maria Wæhrens: Tradition

For her solo exhibition Tradition Maria Wæhrens (DK) presents expressive and raw paintings, where abstract beings, body parts, emotions, and landscapes are painted with powerful intuitive brushstrokes. Screaming mouths, internal organs, and genitals, as well as desperate and embracing hands, reach out from the dark and take form between unruly proportions and compositions. The works are both present and grotesque – poetic and punk – and derive from an inner force and insistence from Wæhrens of exposing her emotional life onto the surface. The exhibition "Tradition #I" is part I out of II in the gallery within the next six months. The next exhibition Ash Wednesday opens in March 2023, and will present Wæhren's current practice, where the struggle for identity has just now given way to an equally vulnerable struggle about being fully presence and able to recive. 

In October 2022, Maria Wæhrens also present a solo exhibition at Chis Sharp Gallery, Los Angeles, USA.
