In the works by Thomas Øvlisen, the seagull - with its scavenging and noisy nature - is a recurring motif. It deserves as a symbol of freedom, yet also as a reminder against romanticizing the very thing. The banality of the seagull’s liberty is “going for hot dogs and herring alike”, as the artist puts it. Much like the industrial detritus and found objects Øvlisen often employs as materials, the seagull is not picky and makes use of what is discarded. Indeed, it comes to stand for Øvlisen’s own artmaking process, as he renegotiates Modernist paradigms through a radical eclecticism of materials and ideas. In Øvlisen’s heterogeneous universe, everyday utopianism meets sober realism, which invites thought, play, and the free flight of the imagination.
