Stalke Galleri has the great pleasure to present the exhibition ”Collage” as a meeting between five artists whom separately has practised and explored many possibilities of the collage from the sixties till today.

Poul Lillesøe show his multifarious production at the union of artist PRO. Poul Lillesøe is focused at the display /development) and takes a flight in fantasy simple as possible. as he says, everything that pours out through my hands. – To make this creation so direct and simple as possible. To demonstrate the power of life he uses art as a weapon.
Arthur Köpcke is one of the most importen representive of the Fluxus-movement. Arthur Köpcke wanted to challenge reality in the opposites between the common place and the absurd. The result often got the character of picture puzzle.
Erik Dietman works with words and ideas that often criticize both the society and the conventional conception of art. Everything can be used: Pictures from newspapers, waste, a piece of clothe, photos etc. And by the creates so-called ”guarded passage” pictures and spaces that extend the consciousness of the spectator.
Henrik Pryds Beck was as a period a student of Arthur Köpcke active among Gallery 38. He has also explored the collage always with an experimental starting point. His contribution to this exhibition is a kind of pro retro because the works have been collected during a number of years with the attitude that it has a potential when the idea has been ripened. There is always a thought (a Concept) beyond the works, a constructive consideration that is worked out in the final works in a painterly manner.
Albert Mertz has kept on stubbornly all his lift to explore and challenge art. He showed his artic works in all genres and mediums and when he died he left a comprehensive production of assemblage, gouache, paintings, collage and apart from that a considerable amount of text and notes. Peter Holst Henckel was last year in charge of a comprehensive exhibition Mertz+ in the gallery where facets of his works were shown.

The best way to characterize the pivotal point of the exhibition will be with Albert Mertz`attiitude that art should not be bound to a certain appearance. To any specific object, but more like identical with effect has to the spectator.
