Cathrine Raben Davidsen - Above Below Beyond

Cathrine Raben Davidsen (1972-)

The new comprehensive monograph ABOVE BELOW BEYOND contains selected paintings, drawings, and collages from the past three years. The monograph is published in connection with the presentation of the Beckett-Prize at Copenhagen Contemporary in December 2022.

Grounded in historical narratives, myth and literature, Raben Davidsen investigates essential human traits through painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramics. In delicate lines and blurred contours, she creates compelling dream worlds enigmatically bridging past and present. There, the eye can rest – and explore infinity.

As an artist, Raben Davidsen has persistently cultivated deep time, unswayed by passing trends. Hers is a powerful voice for the importance to art of craft and immersion. In a distinctly personal way, her art filters big history through a powerful and moving visual vocabulary entirely her own.
