What they say?
by Laura Ragoczy
In the Danish art encyclopaedia Weilbach: Dansk Kunsterleksikon (Munksgaard-Roinante) edited by Sys Hartmann one can read:
“From a palette of dark and chilly coloures, Ole Skovsmose has worked his way forward to an expression of warmth including ochre and red, partly influenced by the colours of Italy. He is fascinated by the motive of the female figure. This becomes expressed through smooth lines, which can be noticed behind the often very heavy layers of colour, by means of which he construct his pictures. The female figure is present, more or less visible; the body, the limbs or the silhouette of the face can be sensed. While his previous paintings often show an undercurrent of resignation, despair or aggressively, his more recent pictures are brighter in mood.” (Text by Laura Ragoczy, my translation.)
