With a hole thru By Lisbeth Bonde Information. 16. jan 2002 Jasper Sebastian Stürup's mysterious drawings and sculptures shows a fluent and transparent world In these winter-days, where the snow heavily has covered the ground in Kongens Have (a park), the experience is natural extended in the meeting with the amorph snow white sculptures of Jasper Sebastian Stürup, that stands or lies in Galler Susanne Ottesen's large rooms, as (snowdrift) that refuses to melt. They are physical shapes that constantly changes shape, when you change the view point in the sharp cool room. The artist (b.1969) graduated from the art academy in 1999 and has contributed to numerous generation exhibitions, that shows new ground in the contemporary art: Charlottenborgs Efterårsudstilling 1999, "Du er helt ny, du er retro" at Trapholt and "Take off" at Århus Museum of Contemporary Art (AROS) last year just to mention some of the more official ones. Here you could have studied some of his incontestable talent, and now he is displaying in the large rooms at Galleri Susanne Ottesen, the effect is quiet but convincing. Even though the pictures whisper there messages in a trembling ink line, they are drawing in the viewer, because there are occurring a row of interesting break of the illusion, Stürup perforate the surface and let an other illusion slide in over the motif, making the drawings all schizophrenic and wild in a more interesting way than we have seen before. drawings without a buffer since 1993 Stürup, who started as a painter has been making drawings, that in the exhibition qua the framing and the large number (40 drawings), works to heighten it into art on the level of painting. Drawing has lately gotten a renaissance with the young artists, who lately has thrown there love at the drawing, among other things because it lies close to the conception of the artistic idea: There are no buffer in-between thought and drawing, the hand is drawing immediately what the thought is dictating. in this way the drawing is fresh and close to the creating process. a thing you also could see at Louisiana's resent exhibition: "From Picasso to Yoko Ono" that had the focus on the drawings prime expression. So what is going on in Stürup's world of images? The drawings are showing intimate, interiors without people, creating a movement between furniture and architecture, They seem dreamlike or thought up, as speech bobbles articulates their spacious tales. It's a fragile and minimal order, where only the most important are present. Some of the most important is music - there is a kind of quiet visual soundtrack, that pays homage to the stereo rack - and also to the bed, shelves and more, gets there space in this minimal universe of wishes. And then there's often hole thru to the other side. It can be the paper that is cut up and chaos appears behind the seeming quiet and order. Stürup also draws on checkered fabric, he plays with holes, black fire, shiny foil that cuts thru a fragile interior, ha also draws on colored paper and teases us with his tricks of illusion. his line is clever like the young Hockney's. even when it trembles there's no tremble to detect in stürup, who has proven his position as a great artist making drawings in his generation.
