poster for Thomas Øvlisen “Jørgen Larsen, Taarbæk”

This event has ended.

For his fourth show at Klaus, Thomas Øvlisen will present a new body of sculptures with
painted surfaces. Made from styrofoam blocks cut into shapes suggesting forms such as flying
buttresses, surfboards, doors, and building blocks, the sculptures physically and visually employ
mass and lightness.

The painted outer shells or skin of the work are made from multiple layers of materials such as
fiberglass, bed linens, spray paint and autolacquer all buffed into super smooth surfaces, revealing layers of color suggesting reverie and reflection. Øvlisen encourages viewers to touch the work, connecting them to the artist’s experience in the studio as a maker, and drawing attention to his own personal relationship with the forms he’s sculpted.
