Eske Kath (b. Haderslev 1975)
“Disintegration-Volcano”, 2003. Signed and dated on the reverse. Oil and applications on canvas. 160×125 cm.
Provenance: Galleri Christina Wilson, Copenhagen.
Explosions, fire, volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters are the focal point in Eske Kath's imagery. The artistic idiom is simple and expressed through a strong colour universe, a universe, which almost blows the viewer away in the encounter with the artwork. A Baroque piece dressed in new clothing one could say. The artwork captures and envelops the viewer as in the Baroque style, and Eske Kath manages in this way to create an interesting clash between previous periods' style and the natural disasters of contemporary times. Eske Kath has for a longer period made his mark on the Danish contemporary scene, and he has, among other things, decorated a ceiling in Frederik 8's palace at Amalienborg.
