Stinne Bo

Artist Stinne Bo works in the intersection of art and site-specific design solutions. With a background as Master in Design graduated from the Royal Danish Academy – Architecture, Design, Conservation, Stinne Bo creates distinctive reliefs.

By exploring different materials, color combinations and layers of expression, the materials and motifs are processed so that the depth effect and texture becomes sculptural. Through an experimental practice and time-consuming process, Stinne Bo creates unique artworks and site specific pieces with a special focus on crafts and materials.

‘Mirrage’

‘Mirrage’ is a series of pieces printed on layers of Organza.

Silk organza adds an extra dimension due to the silk’s translucency and tactile qualities. Mounted in painted solid oak frames frames and with a certain distance between the layers, the pieces takes form of three-dimensional objects in the room. The series is a repetition of a particular motive from the past creating a rhythmically movement, investigating a particular space and the mirage of the past.

The pieces are framed. Hand painted oak frames, UV protective museum glass.

“My creative urge is a search for the infinite possibilities, combinations and expressions of craft and materials. The eye is captivated and fascinated by the shadow play that can occur when the sunlight gleams through the branches of the trees and forms flickering patterns.

In my work, I discovered by chance a similar transformation into a world drawn with light and shadow. With light and shadow, it can create evocative motifs that play with the eye’s ability to decode foreground and background and to sharpen and detect motifs and shapes. The transitions between layers of light and shadow, creates a gradation in different tones of color.

I am working to find the balance between the total resolution of the subject on one side and the sharp cut clear subject on the other. I am preoccupied with the balance between the immediately friendly, beautiful and poetic as opposed to the tense, peculiar and incomprehensible. I am drawn to the tension between contradictions – the abstract to the figurative, the feminine to the masculine, the strong to the weak, the light to the dark.”

‘In between’

’In between’ is a series of hand carved paper reliefs, using different qualities of white paper and LED light to illuminate the layers from behind.

The effect of light and shadow creates depth adding a characteristic expression to the relief pieces. The series is a tribute to the idea of different family constructions and the inherent presence and absence of a family unit.

The pieces are framed. Hand painted oak frames, UV protective museum glass.

‘Relic of the past’

‘Relic of the past’ is a series of hand carved paper reliefs. The layers consist different white tones of paper, producing a characteristic depth and shadowing effect, where the elements so to speak pops out of the coherent surface.

Using the iconic object of the typical mass-produced white plastic chair, the series is a tribute to rememberable family vacations in the nineties merging with the studies of a subtle spaces of tightly composed architectural spaces.

The pieces are framed. Hand painted oak frames, UV protective museum glass.

’Relief ’

’Relief’ is a series of hand carved paper works, consisting of various layers of colored paper.

The series is a tribute to the immediate everyday life tableaus and Danish design classics, where recognizable design elements, tells of spiritual and material prosperity in the space where human figures also reside. The absence and abandonees of the figures tells another story.

The pieces are framed. Hand painted oak frames, UV protective museum glass.

‘Oblivion’

‘Olivion’ is a series of commission pieces made for an American cruise ship. The pieces are made from hand colored and hand carved paper, using soft pastels to create a vibrant tone of the surface.
