Nanna Riis Andersen

  • Biography

    Nanna Riis Andersen works with painting, drawing, and sculpture that focuses on the organic patterns of the body and the spaces that surround it. Riis Andersen is concerned with intermediate stages and transitions, and the works often seem to be somewhere between wholeness and dissolution, where many layers and overlaps create complex spaces. Both when it comes to painting and sculpture, Nanna Riis Andersen works in a predominantly abstract idiom with references to something physically recognizable and plant-like growths. Bodily organic shapes appear as exterior and interior landscapes where abstractions of ears, clams, and vertebrates move around. The works are tied together by a color-saturated and sensuous expression, where the materials, such as the fiber of the paper and the pigment of the colors, also become part of the story.

    Nanna Riis Andersen (b.1985) graduated from the Jutland Academy of Art in 2012 and has exhibited alone and in groups at galleries and exhibition venues in Denmark and abroad. She has participated in the JCE Biennale in 2015 and 2017 in Denmark, Italy, and France and has exhibited at Den Frie Udstillingsbygning and Møstings Hus. In 2020, Riis Andersen received Sven Hols' scholarship.
