Marie Louise Kold
 
 
About the Artist

Marie Louise Kold is a Danish artist who has made a name for herself internationally with her ability to imbue metals with an emotional charge that turns them into art. She has developed a technique of her own, which has its roots in the tradition of copper printing. Working with copper, brass and bronze she engraves and etches the metal, not using it to print with, rather the metal itself becomes the actual art object. The aging process of the metal continues after the work of art leaves her hands, and the patina will be forever changing, not only depending on angle and light, but also touch and time.

Texts are often a part of her works, not so much intended to be read and understood, as just being graphic elements - traces of communication. The texts are by Danish authors Karen Blixen and Hans Christian Andersen, and are all in Danish.

Karen Blixen and Hans Christian Andersen are also the subjects of several of her large portraits. They're made up of thousands of small squares of copper or bronze which are given depth and character by a process of patination before they're joined together. Some squares are left outside in the rain for days, others for months. The degree of sulphur in rainwater creates the different nuances, which later, placed laboriously together, bring life to the portrait.
