Anna Aagaard Jensen

design - sculptuur

Anna Aagaard Jensen's design practice interrogates the preconceived dictated behavioral patterns of women and the social factors allowing them to continue existing today. Her objects are alternative representations of the archetypes that surround us, made with a hyperfeminine aesthetic language where she uses makeup and extracts shapes related to the female body. In creating function, Jensen sculpts form into a story that advocates for a new way of looking at design, and inevitably at our environment.

    'Spring fling'

    Tentoonstelling / presentatie

    • 05-05-2023 t/m 06-06-2023
    • Locatie: Sainte Anne Gallery , Paris
    • 'Spring fling' is an exhibition about the blossoming energy, manifested in warm lights and flirtatious silhouettes. The exhibition focuses on the playful and flirty feeling of spring. The flower is a central symbol of the composition, understood as the representation of the female body and the innocent, sometimes shy, sweetness of a moment. Flowers are enchanting anthems of spring. They dictate the seasons and announce the renaissance.
