The exhibition Skala at Kastrupgårdsamlingen, Museum for Modern Graphic Art, looks at how artist Karin Birgitte Lund has explored the limits of the graphic medium over the past six decades.
The show brings together work across many printmaking techniques. Lund's subjects are the overlooked details of everyday life: a scratched metal plate, weathered walls, a jacket hanging from a nail. Her intense attention to small nuances makes each work a close study of what most people pass by.
Many of the works begin with a photograph she has taken, including pigment prints she has later hand-coloured with coloured pencil. Her copperplate prints show clearly that printmaking is, at heart, drawing.
