In her paintings, Malene Landgreen explores the psychological, emotional, cognitive and material potentialities of color and space on two-dimensional surfaces. As she states: “The colors that I am blending embody an active emotional vocabulary which can, without the use of words or forms, elucidate a tendency or a potential. In their simplest form, the colors have infinite capacities; and by combining them, you manage, in the abstract form, to reach many different places. There’s a whole world coming into a being, a world where colors come to be exponents of something else, where the interrelations among the colors, the proportions and the contrasts can, in a certain manner, be likened to what’s happening in real life – while, at the same time, it’s just a painting.”.
