Watercolor Virtuoso Ole Aakjær Featured In Solo Museum Shows In China And Denmark Before Major New York Exhibition
Dozens of tiny wales swim on and around the face of a young woman who gazes intently at the viewer. Her pouty crimson lips outshine a single red flower adorning her neck. Her features are so precisely articulated that her visage isn’t lost in the busy overlay of marine life. The composition is harmonious and elegant, demanding a close examination of her features and how they relate to the flurry of miniature mammals.
Ole Aakjaer is an internationally-recognized watercolour artist, whose love of music, literature, films and photographs, along with his childhood dream of becoming a cartoonist, has inspired him to create a unique and vibrant style of paintings that leave a lasting impression. This complexity of watercolour deepens the dramatic effect put forward by the artist with his use of abundant colourful hues and hidden symbolism, creating daring female portraits that cannot be forgotten.
Dozens of tiny wales swim on and around the face of a young woman who gazes intently at the viewer. Her pouty crimson lips outshine a single red flower adorning her neck. Her features are so precisely articulated that her visage isn’t lost in the busy overlay of marine life. The composition is harmonious and elegant, demanding a close examination of her features and how they relate to the flurry of miniature mammals. “The young woman in the piece seems to be in sync with everything. She understands the context of everything, senses the world, takes it all in, and in this very moment she understands the beauty of everything we have,” explains Ole Aakjær, a Copenhagen-based, internationally-renowned watercolor and ink artist. “What a moment. I want to be there.”
