Catherine Raben Davidsen — Artist

“It’s important for me to keep evolving by reading and researching, but also by physically experimenting with materials. As an artist, I’m an eternal student. I acquire a body of knowledge, then lay it aside and let go.”

About:

Historical accounts, mythological material and works of fiction form the central impetus for Cathrine Raben Davidsen’s work. Using and juxtaposing references from cultural traditions, ancient histories of craftsmanship, the great masters of European art history as well as the current social and philosophical thinking of our own time, Raben Davidsen explores the essential traits of human nature. The traditional hierarchies among art, craftsmanship and design are channelled into an artistic oeuvre that ranges wide from painting, drawing, print and ceramics to costumes and stage design.
