Galleri Nicolai Wallner is pleased to present a solo presentation of significant works by one of of Scandinavia's most influential Post War artists, Poul Gernes.
Danish constructivist Poul Gernes (1925 – 1996) was a painter, sculptor and performer. Active from the 1940s and through the rest of his life, he sought to redefine ideas regarding arts and public space. Known for his bold use of colour and geometric forms, this incredibly graphic style made use of easily accessible materials. Celebrating a return to decorative arts, his works communicated a strong belief that art has a function—it is intended for everyone. The flexible and modular construction of his works represent an invitation, a democratic gesture.
