Mie Olise Kjærgaard

b.1974
Based in Copenhagen, DK

미에 올리세 키에르고르는 1974년 덴마크 로스킬레에서 태어나 모르스 섬에서 어린 시절을 보낸 작가는 현재 코펜하겐을 기반으로 활동하고 있습니다. 작가는 오르후스 건축학교(Aarhus School of Architecture)에서 건축을 공부한 뒤 센트럴 세인트 마틴(Central St. Martins)에서 순수회화 석사를 전공했습니다. 작가는 베를린, 런던, 뉴욕, 휴스턴, L.A 등 미국과 유럽을 넘나들며 활발하게 활동하고 있습니다. 키에르고르는 거칠고 자유분방한 붓질로 스포츠를 즐기고 짐승에 올라타 거침없이 질주하는 등 활동적인 여성들을 묘사하여 여성의 주체성과 자유를 강조하며, 불균형한 구도의 극적인 화면을 통해 전통적인 여성상에 대한 사회적 인식을 유쾌하게 전복 시킵니다.

Born in Roskilde in 1974 and raised on Mors Island, Mie Olise Kjærgaard is currently based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Kjærgaard received her MFA from Central St. Martins School in London after studying architecture at Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark. With exuberant brushstrokes, Kjærgaard depicts adventurous women enjoying sports and riding on the backs of animals, emphasizing women’s agency and freedom. Also, by composing new narratives for women, the artist joyfully subverts traditional social perceptions of femininity with dynamic, unbalanced compositions.
