Tora Urup, the Sun the Moon

Galerie Maria Wettergren is pleased to present the solo exhibition the Sun the Moon by Tora Urup, introducing new poetic sculptures in hand-shaped solid glass and Japanese Urushi lacquer by the Danish artist. Urup is fascinated by rotation, a phenomenon central to the physical realization of her glass sculptures, but equally relevant to all movement in our universe, determined by gravity. This dynamic rather than static state is not only characterized by the glass objects themselves, but equally engaged by their viewers, moving around the sculptures to observe their changing expressions. In the words of the artist, “My work is a game of seeing and perceiving. A game that challenges our senses and our perception of space and reality.”
