ABOUT

​The works of Morten Overgaard are influenced by an almost childlike energy. They contrast the immediate and controlled; the random and the intentional.
Inspired by abstract expressionists, minimalists and even cave paintings, the work is a visual time imprint of memories, moods and emotions.  The works outline figurative shapes in an abstract framework, in which the viewers own story and implied meaning creates the narrative.

​'In my work, I like to use symbols and shapes originating from various visual cultures, in order to dissolve their original meaning. In my work, they appear side by side – edited, combined or entirely made up. On that basis, we can read them as something entirely new and imply new significance to them. I instinctively reuse and develop them along the way.
Herein lies a pattern or tendency that is interesting to investigate, both as part of my creative process – and in relation to what people see in the images. - What exactly it is that we choose to dwell on, and what meaning or significance we attach to the little things.'
