" I think that all my works relate to nature, consciously or unconsciously. A totem for me is a work that imitates the power of nature in order to become a culture and in this way creates meaning and inspiration for a group of people."
Jakob Jørgensen
Galerie Maria Wettergren is pleased to present the Jakob Jørgensen exhibition TOTEM from March 28 to May 18, 2019. The exhibition presents a selection of ten unique or limited edition works in the intersection between furniture and sculpture, handmade by the artist in wood or iron. One of the pivoting points of the exhibition is the column, that the Danish artist and designer Jakob Jørgensen never seems to stop deconstructing in various ways. Two major sources of inspiration lie behind these works – Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column and Joern utzon’s Opera House, in both of which a dialogue between the geometrical and the organic is orchestrated.
