NANNA RIIS ANDERSEN | SKIN, SHAPE, SHELTER

There is a sense of constant movement in Nanna Riis Andersen’s paintings. Forms expand, dissolve and reappear. Layers of translucent colour overlap and create spaces that feel at once bodily, organic and strangely cosmic.

Her paintings resist a fixed reading. Something might resemble an organ, a membrane, a landscape or a microscopic structure, only to shift again as the eye moves across the surface. The familiar and the unknown seem to coexist.

Working through layers of paint, washes, lines and recurring organic forms, Riis Andersen creates images that suggest inner landscapes rather than depicting them. Some works are dense and saturated, almost enclosing the viewer, while others open into luminous spiralling movements of pale yellow, green and violet.

Throughout Skin, Shape, Shelter, the body is present without ever being represented directly. Instead, it becomes a way of thinking about permeability, transformation and our relationship to the world around us.

Shown alongside Daniela Bergschneider’s sculptural works, the paintings enter into a beautiful dialogue between surface and volume, interior and exterior, softness and structure.

DANIELA BERGSCHNEIDER | SKIN, SHAPE, SHELTER

Soft, bodily and strangely alive, Daniela Bergschneider’s sculptures seem to exist somewhere between organism, ornament and imagined anatomy.

Her works are built from hand-formed porcelain elements, bound together and held by hand-dyed, translucent nylon. Two materials with very different qualities meet: the porcelain creating an inner structure, almost like a skeleton, while the nylon stretches around it like a skin.

This tension between strength and fragility is central to Bergschneider’s practice. Repetition allows individual elements to grow into larger, complex forms that fold, curl and extend into space. Some cling to the wall, while others descend from the ceiling, appearing almost to breathe or grow within the gallery.

There is something immediately tactile about the works. Their soft colours and intricate surfaces invite closeness, while their forms remain wonderfully ambiguous: botanical, bodily, marine, perhaps even otherworldly.

In Skin, Shape, Shelter, Bergschneider’s sculptures inhabit the space alongside paintings by Nanna Riis Andersen, creating an exhibition shaped by transformation, materiality and the porous boundaries between body and surroundings.

On view at Formation Gallery through September 26.

Johanne Rude Lindegaard at Enter Art Fair 2026 💫

Formation Gallery is pleased to present new works by Johanne Rude Lindegaard at this year’s Enter Art Fair.

Rude Lindegaard’s paintings operate in the unstable territory between reality and illusion. Her practice draws on art-historical ideas ranging from Renaissance representation to the Baroque fascination with overwhelming, seductive illusion, while returning again and again to larger existential questions about our place within nature and the universe.

Tides, currents and forces of attraction are recurring images in her work. In the paintings, layers of acrylic and bone glue create hazy, fluid surfaces where landscape appears to shift before the eye — reflecting her interest in how everything around us continually pulls, pushes, attracts and repels.

And there is more: alongside the works in our booth, Johanne will present a large-scale, spectacular site-specific work created especially for the Sculpture Garden at Enter Art Fair.

Tina Borum at Enter Art Fair 2026

Formation Gallery is pleased to present works by Tina Borum at this year’s Enter Art Fair.

Working with discarded ropes from the Danish fishing industry, Borum gives a material associated with labour, function and the sea an entirely new life. Twisted, knotted, painted and folded, the ropes become exuberant sculptural gestures — sometimes tightly controlled, sometimes seemingly on the verge of unravelling.

There is both humour and tenderness in the works. Titles such as Kærlighed i ubalance, Mor & Barn, Mess No More and The Light turn knots, loops and entanglements into images of relationships, states of mind and human connection. The material retains the traces of its former use while becoming something unexpectedly soft, colourful and expressive.

Lars Sarto Hempler at Enter Art Fair 2026

Formation Gallery is pleased to present new works by Lars Sarto Hempler at this year’s Enter Art Fair.

Hempler works across painting, collage and sculpture, drawing on memories of the landscapes of his North Jutland childhood and on a longstanding interest in the relationship between humans and nature. In his recent works, the classical still life becomes a point of departure rather than a fixed genre: vessels, plant-like forms, fragments and architectural structures seem to spill into one another, as if the image can no longer contain what it holds.

The works we bring to Enter are particularly rich in colour and movement. Dense fields of pink, green, red, blue and black are built up through fragments that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. The recurring vase motif appears almost as an anchor, while the surrounding image keeps opening up into new associations and possible narratives. Alongside the paintings, we will also present one of Hempler’s sculptural works, extending this visual language into three dimensions.

We are also very happy to be looking ahead to Lars Sarto Hempler’s upcoming solo exhibition at Formation Gallery, opening 9 October 2026.

Johanne Helga Heiberg at Enter Art Fair 2026

Formation Gallery is pleased to present works by Johanne Helga Heiberg at this year’s Enter Art Fair.

Heiberg’s practice often begins with figures and narratives borrowed from literature and art history. Through drawing and textile, she reworks this material from a contemporary perspective, allowing familiar female figures, myths and stories to appear differently — quieter perhaps, but with their own agency and presence. Her wider practice also includes graphic novels, among them Dear Frida and I Have My Heart in My Mouth.

The delicate embroidered works we will show at Enter almost seem to float on their softly coloured textile grounds. A few precise black lines are enough to suggest bodies caught in transformation — part woman, part creature, part myth — giving the works their particular combination of intimacy, strangeness and poetry.
