LINÉ RINGTVED THORDARSON

Liné Ringtved Thordarson sculptures ooze senualitiy. One might be tempted to describe her form as „a lava stream of passion“, but in all the solid material and the bronze, which is Thordarson’s preferred material and may seem hard and impenetrable, an expression of organic life and contagious passion emerges. At the same moment you register the force of lust, the characters fragility is revealed. Suddenly they appear bare, and as if they find themselves out of sight – free from the voyeur’s inquiring gaze and in a private space. But they are not! They are exhibited and in a state beyond any modest consciousness.
