Søren Behncke: Strandgade 25

"Strandgade 25, 2024, is a reinterpretation of Vilhelm Hammershøi's (1864 - 1916) lnteriør. De fire stuer. Strandgade 25 from 1914. Hammershøi lived with his wife Ida in Strandgade 25 in Copenhagen from 1913-1916".

– Søren Behncke, 2024

In Call and Response, Søren Behncke gathers a dream team of artists for a conceptual studio session. Behncke responds to the call of a diverse group of artists such as Henri Matisse, Vilhelm Hammershøi, Alexander Calder, Paul Gauguin, Fernand Léger, Josef Albers, Le Corbusier, Roy Lichtenstein, Theo van Gogh, Max Ernst, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, and Joan Miró. In his compositional answers, Behncke transforms, comments, adapts, challenges, paraphrases, and plays. The result is a series of curious, open-ended paintings, prints, and sculptures that engage directly with a contemporary interpretation of art and art history, understanding works of art and art history as a continuous stream of ideas, expressions, questions, and dialogues.
