Art has had the pleasure of having Jesper Dyrehauge as a guest teacher. Jesper works on how painting can move from gesture and expressive brushstrokes to other visual surfaces with other expressions and methods.

The students were equipped with potatoes and carrots. Created seed bombs that were left to dry, went for walks around the buildings to understand the sizes of the floor plans, created works of repetitive prints and colors with a meditative touch. All to develop the language and relationship to surface, form, space and action also in relation to new ecologies.

The week ended with throwing the fine seed bombs in places where they will flourish and create utility and enjoyment for others. We also held an exhibition in Four Boxes, where the fine works and their organic and sometimes special sensual and mechanical expressions played well against each other and the fine frame of the building.

Jesper Dyrehauge’s own fine starting point for the week was: We are in land scapes, urban scapes and non scapes. We establish connections and touch with our surroundings and our time. We motivate a basic mood for the week that goes from grounding to abstraction. We work with potato and carrot prints with acrylic paint on cotton canvas. The task is to work non-figuratively, abstractly. We give ourselves time to talk, listen, think and consider our compositions before we start working with carrots, potatoes, paint and canvas.
