Discovering the Work of Rikke Bjørn: A New Addition to the Gallery!

We are excited to introduce Rikke Bjørn, a remarkable new addition to our gallery. Her work, grounded in the principles of Concrete Art, brings a fresh, contemporary twist to geometric abstraction. Through her compositions, she explores the relationships between color, form, and surface, creating visually captivating works that invite viewers to experience a delicate balance of order and freedom.

Bjørn’s artistic process is an intuitive journey. She constructs her compositions directly on the canvas, often without any sketches. This allows her to explore new possibilities with each brushstroke, creating pieces that evolve organically. Her work is driven by a need for structure, yet it maintains a sense of spontaneity and freedom. “I paint because I need to,” sh says, explaining that her art satisfies a deep need for order and visual calmness. The hard edges of her geometric forms bring stability, while the interaction of colours adds complexity and energy to the work.

Working within the realm of Concrete Art, Bjørn’s paintings reject representation or narrative, instead focusing on the intrinsic qualities of colour and form. For her, the painting itself is the subject, its surfaces, its shapes, and the way colours interact. The process is as important as the result, with each painting evolving from a spontaneous exploration of how colors "talk to each other" within the confines of geometric forms.

What makes her work particularly compelling is the emotional response she hopes to provoke. She isn’t focused on conveying a specific message, but rather on creating a visual experience that elicits curiosity, wonder, and sometimes even irritation in the viewer. There’s an underlying tension in her compositions, a kind of "puzzle" that invites the viewer to engage and question the balance between the elements.

Rikke Bjørn’s work adds a dynamic layer to the world of geometric abstraction. While firmly rooted in the traditions of Concrete Art, her compositions bring a modern sensibility that reflects her unique vision and creative freedom. Her focus on color, form, and structure invites viewers into a world where beauty is found in simplicity and complexity alike.

We are thrilled to feature Rikke Bjørn’s artwork in our gallery and look forward to sharing more of her creations with you. Her pieces offer a chance to experience the interplay of structure and spontaneity, capturing the essence of contemporary abstract art in a deeply personal and expressive way.
