Silke Bonde
Schlieder Contemporary
In her work, Danish paper artist Silke Bonde (*1990) explores the relationship between humans and nature. She tries to understand the paradox we experience when we simultaneously long for nature and yet have no close connection to it. Her works reflect our longing for the natural world and the calming presence it gives to everything.
Silke Bonde explores how flat cotton paper can be transformed using simple techniques. Starting from a place where the flat paper represents nature in its entirety, the artist creates a new world. By delving deeper, she reveals, section by section, a hidden organic realm in intricate detail.
The sensitivity expressed in her simple aesthetic reflects the artist's gentle nature and the delicate fragility of the natural world. In our "Bird" exhibition at the Frankfurt Art Experience, Silke Bonde focuses on the bird as a symbol of lightness, freedom and a change of perspective. The new works deal with the nature and movement of birds and at the same time open up a poetic view of the connection between heaven and earth - between the desire to fly and the need to stay rooted.
