About Judit Kristensen

Lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium.

Even though there appears to be an auto biographical line in Judit Kristensens works, the works does not seem like depictions of surroundings but rather like implemented inner visions or staged scenes, like a stifled theather with pent-up drama and uncertain fate. The works let the viewer peek into uncanny private spheres with an underlying threat, and Netflix, Coca Cola bottles and previous days Cheerio bowls. There seems to be an existential core in the works, and recurring attempts to charge the mundane with emotional tension. The isolationist gloom, the thrembling interiors and psychologically loaded private rooms with an absinth green screen lighting that makes the cold pink vibrate, appears to pick up on a tradition left by Scandinavian modernists such as Edvard Munch, Vera Nilsson and Vilhelm Hammershøi.
