Queen Margrethe II of Denmark presents on 28th January 2012 the exhibition “The Essence of Colour - The Art of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark”.
The public can follow her artistic development over the past 35 years. They will see over 130 acrylic paintings, water-colours and découpages, which reflect a special relationship with history and the present, including a series of brand new works that have never before been shown.
“The exhibition offers unique insight into the artist Margrethe II. We meet an open, vulnerable, searching human being who is able to convert her reflections on the fundamental existential conditions of human life into simple, lucid art,” says the director of Arken, Christian Gether.
Nature has been a central theme in the Queen’s art. “It is not only charming, it is also vast and frightening – and most fascinating of all when it is vast and frightening,” explains the Queen in conversation with Christian Gether about her landscapes.
