Gallery Image has the pleasure of presenting the exhibition:
“Red Finger” by Hans E Madsen
5th to 27th of January 2008
The central motive in Hans E Madsen´s latest exhibition “Red Finger” is the photographer’s forefinger. By placing his forefinger in front of the flash, Hans E Madsen uses his finger to create a characteristic red glow in the images. Reflective materials appear in some of the motives, meaning that the illuminated finger can be seen in the picture. The photographs literally place a fingered imprint on the old question of the artist’s mark in the picture - the personal touch. In ”Red Finger” the world is filtered through the passionate artists temperament, through his psyche. Hans E Madsen’s own blood is indirectly present in the photographs. By using his camera and his body Hans E Madsen paints a world of red pictures.
In connection with the exhibition, Space Poetry will publish a book entitled “Red Finger”, with an introduction by Rune Gade.
Hans E Madsen (born 1958) graduated from the Academy of Fine Art in Århus, Denmark, in 1981, and has also studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Ljubljana, ex-Yugoslavia, 1980 – 1981. He has exhibited in the U.S., Italy, Holland, Iceland and Finland. Hans E Madsen has published several books, among others; “Under Bordet” and “68 Fotos.” He is well known for his work in the legendary group, Solkorset that created large scale installations and set designs. No matter what medium, whether working with installations or photography, it is spatial conditions that interest Hans E Madsen most of all.
