The Gallery of
Summer.
A meetingplace for
art and life.
The summer being
the time of happiness, light and days with no end just like a
youth without old age. Dreamtime.
In the Gallery of
Summer you will primaraly meet art exposing pictures from you mind
or memory. Maybe from you childhood, mabye from a beautiful
afternoon filled with sun, that stayed with you for ever. Maybe
from the happy day when a lover with chestnut hair followed
you down a road, you never saw again. That makes the Gallery of
Summer a place for dreams, dreams of long gone moments and a
childhood hidden i the maze of memory. At dream of what could have
been - and maybe will be created from the void of the future.
The Gallery of
Summer is the place, where one half om my artistic work is rooted.
The place, where the more figurative pictures can be seen - these
pictures being a condition for my fabulations. Welcome to this
place.
About me is just to
say, that I was born in 1943 in a small town on Seeland, Denmark
called Hoerve. It is situated in Odsherred, the region no one
leaves without carrying its mark on him. I had my debut on the
juried exhibitioin Kunstnernes Sommerudstilling in 2011, when I
was 68 years old and the time had come. Before that I had done my
chores and been educated as an historian on the University of
Copenhagen in the years 1962-69, and then I worked with great
pleasure on the Highschool of Slagelse until 2008. That year I
started more seriously with art and have since had exhibitions in
USA, ( New York and other places), Germany, Greece, Poland and
Denmark. In connection with my work I have recieved many awards,
grants and destinctions. You can see exhibitions and cv on www.svenfroekjaer.com

The Gallery of
Summer mirrors my work with figurative art, which is a condition
for me to maintain the tecnical niveau and artistic freedom
nescessary to create my fabulations and the other art projects,
which are the other half of my artistic work.
Therefore I am
working in two different areas, one with the object of depiction
the real world often seen through the filter of childhood, the
other an exploration of the many and great possibilities of human
kind thorough working with structures and functions in the modern
artistic universe. These two parts of my work strengthen each
other and are in a strange way dependent on each other at the same
time. A true well of joy.
