Anne Sofie Djernis’ (b. 1993) practice is heavily focused on painting, while emphasising her ambivalence towards the medium. This becomes a driving force in investigating the nature of the medium itself, its purpose, while also driving the physical manifestation of the resulting artworks. Her painting process is centered around bodily intuition and sensitivities, and the friction that occur between these and a visual starting point. As such, Djernis departs from existing figurative material, which she subsequently alters and transforms through a bodily process, where movement, intensity and sensation are the primary focus. Inherently examining how the visual starting point of an artwork is erased through the act of painting.
