PAINTINGS

Jerry Adder’s paintings are colouristic and expressive, characterised by the struggle between life and death in an all-encompassing creative process that focuses on modern humanity in all its impotence and isolation.

JERRY ADDER

Jerry Adder is unique in Danish contemporary art born in 1958 in Copenhagen. His sculptures contain an expressive violence in the struggle for redemption.

That which is difficult to describe with words is described with form – words turn into flesh – in the shape of smooth, polished white bodies, carved in Greek and Italian marble.
The sculptures are carved in a very direct work form without sketches or models. They appear during the actual carving process. As in an archaeological process, fossil creatures are discovered. With traces pointing back towards the late Italian renaissance a contemporary sensuous expression is explored.

In 2007 he won the Medici Award at The Biennale in Florence.

Jerry Adder is a member of Dansk Billedhuggersamfund.
