ANNA BJERGER – DRIFTERS
2021-08-30Anna Bjerger finds her motifs via a vast image archive. While the motifs can appear clear-cut and mundane, Bjerger highlights elements through the painting process that lift the motif out of its prosaic context. In her search for motifs, it is Bjerger’s subjective experience and the act of seeing that comes into play.
Bjerger explains: “I try to bring forth the subjective, and at times confusing, act of seeing by taking a photograph and transmogrifying it through the act of painting. I have to believe in the picture for it to work as a painting and for it to be credible for everyone who looks at it. Of course, this is also subjective, and I don’t think of it in relation to realism, but rather how a gut feeling can be conveyed through the painting.”
