MOULDING MATTER WITH
THE GREATEST POSSIBLE PRECISION
In her speech at the presentation of the Anna Klindt Sørensen's Grant (January 18, 2008) Lene Rasmussen describes the pictures of E.B. as follows:
"However, when you stand in front of an artwork by Elisabeth Bergsøe, there is no doubt about the identity of the painter, whether this is triggered off by the slender coloured figures which, like lines in an ever-moving composition, give rise to an infinite space, or whether this happens when contemplating the larger monochrome paintings.
It is as if the colour of these monochromes becomes an almost physically manifest presence in the room, sometimes moving in quite closely toward the viewer and other times moving away – at times warm and intense and at other times coolly distant, at times in motion and at other times standing still. The colour alone now is the painting, embodying the considerations and experience of all the preceding years. But the works also possess an intense emotional depth that increases the longer we contemplate them. "
