Born 1981 in Randers, Denmark. Lives in Copenhagen, DK.
In a veritably archaeological process, Marie Søndergaard Lolk examines the materiality of painting in dense paintings with an almost sculptural quality. Over time and space, she builds her conceptual works with countless layers of paint, occasionally with the addition of other materials. The works are often based on written sources, such as correspondence or texts, which appear in the paintings in the form of letters, meticulously cut out in the colour layers of the painting to form sunken characters, or in high relief. The result is weighty paintings in which the account of their creation often constitutes an essential part of the final work.
