Nebula

Above Second is proud to announce ‘Nebula’ , an original show that draws the viewer into the microcosmic galaxy of the minds of these artists. Consisting of intricate drawings, paintings, and paper cuts, this exhibition captures the hazy reflection of these artists’ surroundings and daily life. Just like a galactic nebula absorbs the passing light from background stars in the universe, Michael and Mathias absorb the mundane turning their impressions into nightmares, dreams, and fantastical thoughts. Their Nebula can be bright as well as dark.

They invite and share with us their private universe, a world in which they have created in order to escape, to be illogical and complex. The artwork of their mindscapes are filled with symbols, patterns, and color. The show challenges us to look at our own lives, our own irregular clusters that glow with our own light. What does your nebula look like?

Michael, a self-taught illustrator and designer has work featured in art

magazines in Europe and many local cultural institutions in Denmark. This is his first exhibition in Hong Kong and has previously exhibited in Belgium, Canada, Denmark and England. At V-1 Gallery he was shown along side with Shepard Fairey and Faile.

Mathias has completed two solo exhibitions in Denmark by the age of 28. Using only paper – cuts and stencils, Mathias infuses a contemporary Scandinavian touch to the traditional Asian art form of the paper cut, to portray notions of human interaction. This is also his second exhibition in Hong Kong.
