Galleri NB is pleased to present Between Earth and Sky, a solo exhibition by the Danish artist Claes Otto Jennow. The exhibition features a new series of paintings in which the landscape emerges as a place between observation and memory.
A distinctive horizon line cuts across the surface of Jennow's paintings. It unifies the composition while creating a dynamic tension between earth and sky, between gravity and openness. Beneath the horizon, the landscape is built up through layers of colour, form and traces, while the sky opens the composition towards light and space.
Nature is a central theme throughout Claes Otto Jennow's practice. In recent years, long walks through the landscapes of Jutland have become an important source of inspiration. Rather than depicting specific locations, his paintings are rooted in the impressions and memories that the landscape leaves behind.
The works explore nature's ability to create a sense of connection—not as a place where everything is resolved, but as a space where contrasts can coexist. The landscape thus becomes more than a motif; it becomes a reflection on the changes and experiences that shape a human life.
Between Earth and Sky is an exhibition about what connects us. About the horizon as both boundary and transition. And about the landscape as a place we return to—both in the world around us and within ourselves.
