Figurative Expressions

by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen

Our newest collection by Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen (Norm Architects) shines a light on the

connection between Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics. Represented through a

series of ink paintings, Bjerre-Poulsen displays expressions of the traditional practice of

Japanese calligraphy. Using the ensõ traditions as a starting point, this series of

figurative formations touch on notions of enlightenment, strength and elegance through

motifs of perfection (the complete circle) and imperfection (the incomplete circle).
