Jytte Kjær
I was born in Odense, Denmark and grew up in an artistic family. My father was a sculptor.
As young I worked with different materials, such as fabric, lino-cutting for scarfs, printing on silk, croquis, live modelling and clay modelling.
Educated as a Relaxational Therapist, I also studied at Århus academy of art, and Art History at University of Copenhagen. I have done studies in Psychology.
I worked at DEN PERMANENTE, a former permanent exhibition of danish artcrafts and Museum of Contemporary Art, Roskilde Denmark.
“My art, I will base from art books and magazines, which gives me the story I want to tell. Inspired by architecture and sculptures, I try to create a harmony in the composition. I believe that if a work is created for its purpose, you can leave the beauty to it self. I try to create visual art with poesy, humoristic surealisme between reality and fiction. Daily images breaks down, recreated in absurd visions. In every new collage I go through my agenda to find usefull elements to built a collage. Sometimes adding or reducing elements in my composition. In my art I try to break down the conventional and rational.”
