Copenhagen Blow Up
A show curated by V1 Gallery, Copenhagen.

Kasper Sonne (1974)
Kasper has a bold and energetic visual style. He works with themes that are close to his heart and mind. He uses different materials and methods, canvases, post it notes, mirrors and installation related elements, anything goes as long as it suits the cause. He often works with issues concerning power and fame, at Myymala2 his works will be centered around a true generation legend. Kasper Sonne has exhibited in various galleries in Denmark and is represented in several art collections.
Ulrik Crone (1964)
Ulriks art mixes different materials to create a unique expression: painting, photo, prints, airbrush, computer prints, and installation elements all fuse in his work.
From his punked perspective Ulrik Crone comments and questions the structure and rules of our society. In his most recent solo exhibition, Disintegration, Ulrik focused on being outside normal society for example as a criminal with clear symbolic references to the artist role in society. He has exhibited in various cities around Europe and is represented in various art collections.
HuskMitNavn (RememberMyName) (1975)
Has become a Copenhagen legend over the last couple of years and is now spreading his unique style to the rest of the world. HuskMitNavn started out by fly posting his art on the streets of Copenhagen, peculiar poster campaigns with dual messages commenting or contemplating everything from saying no to yes to war and the size of penises in the winter. HuskMitNavn often creates site-specific works, commenting on the context of where his work is displayed.
