• See past exhibition “The Conception of a Different Landscape”

Ellen Hyllemose works on a re-interpretation of the landscape and she points out that the landscapes surrounding us are constructed versions of nature - and we can engage in it with many different approaches. Classic landscape paitings leave Hyllemose passive and she compares it to a view: you stand and you look at it. Her driving force is to go out there and move around, being surrounded by the landscape and seeing it as a sculptural force. The very aspect of three dimensions is also an important part of ellen Hyllemoses work. When she does sculpture she uses surface and flatness to construct them, and as she does painting she covers it, keeping our attention to spatial qualities: under, behind, on top.

Ellen Hyllemose's works are often open-ended questions - about what we value and what we do not account for, and what place objects hold in our consciousness. This applies to both the materials and objects we surround ourselves with, as well as the landscapes we look at and engage in. With her choice of material and focus on everyday life, she opens for us to reconsider objects and replace them in the hierarchy, and thus give us a Conception of a Different Landscape.
