I am...: an artist living in copenhagen

Ida Kvetny (b. 1980) lives in Copenhagen after studying three years abroad. She is educated from The Funen Art Academy 2002-2004, Edinburgh College of Art 2004-2006, she has been at the Norfolk Summer School of Art at Yale University 2005 and she has received her MA from Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London in 2007. She received the Young Artist of the Year 2007 award from Ledernes Hovedorganisation. In 2007, she participated in the group exhibition Comix! at Brandts in Odense, Denmark, in Mad Love - Young Art in Danish Private Collections at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art 2007 and in a group exhibition at the Museum of Art, Seoul National University in Korea.

About my artwork: In Ida Kvetny’s installations, juxtaposed paintings, drawings, animations and sculptures all contribute to the same investigation of the limitations of painting. Her cut-out drawings mirror the stencils that her paintings have been spraypainted through. Only they are negations: the cut-out removes what the spraypaint adds. The figurative elements in the paintings have been cast to sculptures whose shadows are thrown onto the projection of animated drawings. The sculptures rest on a base of braided canvases. Tiles, spraypainted through stencils, become sculptural drawings as they cover floors or form walls.

The paintings themselves are an explosion of vibrant colours. Twisting and interlacing lines. Spaces that overlap. Techniques that succeed one another. Acrylic, marker, spraypaint, water, metallic and neon colours. Layered or side by side. Like one big chain reaction. Elements that lead to something else. Unhierarchic processes like the forces of nature, represented here by roots, trees and intestines. The surreal and grotesque figures, the mix of figuration and abstraction and the working process itself is that of the automatic drawing that allows subconscious ideas to develop.
