APE
by Lizbeth and Miki Lindstrom.
Enamal on paper, 2020
30 x 40 cm / 12 x 16 inches
Edition of 12

    In the following collaboration pieces we are playing with apes, colors and production.
    Inspired by two of the heros or mid century Danish design.Toy maker Kai Bojesen and Architect and furniture designer Arne Jacobsen.
    We were initially approached by a gallery owner in Miami with a great appreciation for Danish design and asked to create some art connected to Danish furniture design.
    Lizbeth made the first sketches of Kai Bojesen’s ape chilling in the iconic Egg Chair by Arne Jacobsen in her playful drawing style.
    At the time I had been considering the idea of turning some of Lizbeth's abstract painting into re-productions created with stencil. I was in love with her drawings and saw the potential in producing a edition of small playful ape paintings.
    I separated the colors into 4 different stencil and sprayed the pieces on sheet of paper thin wood we had been holding on to for a special project like this.
    While working on the project the gallery owner who had commissioned the work went out of business and the project was set aside.
    In 2020 I brought the stencils back out and conclude the project with two separate editions of 12 uniq paintings.
