Anton Funck, Graduation Show
The graduation show from the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Art opens today at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. We want to extend our sincerest gratulations to Anton Funck as well as the rest of the graduating class.
On Funck's graduation piece, To seek your own disappearance (2026) the exhibition text reads:
"On a single large sheet of handmade Khadi paper, a dense composition is built from minute, accumulated brushstrokes applied line by line. These marks saturate the heavy 600 g surface with watercolor, mounted behind glass in a cherry wood frame. Repetitive, laborious and restrained: slow, meticulous gestures yield the surface dense and fragile, without rendering into a fixed image. What emerges instead is a field of shifting blues, mauves, and warm ochres, traversed by rhythmic strokes suggesting the texture of textile, flow, and shimmer without indulging in any one of them. Two small orange circles punctuate the composition, precise, almost like two solid anchors in the vertigo of a whirling universe. Around them, lines gather and thin, holding the eye at a threshold where representational form seems about to appear, or to have just receded. The eye moves across the surface searching for symmetry, for figure and ground, for stable relations, and finds only provisional ones. The endeavour and slowness of making demand the slowness required of looking. According to French philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman, looking is a reciprocal encounter in which the image itself calls upon a relation; it elicits the idea that vision is also shaped by absence, as the gaps around the work expand and contract, refusing to settle into full visibility."
