Mette Hannemann

HannemannLund painter Mete Hannemann graduated at the Danish Design School (DK) in 1998, and at the Royal Danish Academy of Art in 1993. Her paintings have been exhibited at various galleries, such as Silvia White Gallery (New York), Kunstverein Coburg (Deutschland), Galleri Franz Petersen (Dk), Galleri Veggerby (DK), Galleri Kirk (DK) and at the spring and fall exhibition at Charlottenborg (DK).

Mette works between tradition and innovation and enjoys exploring with different techniques, colors, materials and motifs. This often contains a glimpse of past time masterpieces. Mette doesn’t hide the fact that her inspiration comes from classical painters such as Gustav Klimt, Edward Hopper and Bonnard. Her motifs range from naturalistic portraits and figurative elements to more abstract works, where the final outcome is naturally formed. Apart from painting on canvas, Mette works with Royal Copenhagen, where she has thrown herself into continuing and renewing the plate technique with airbrush and template technique. In spite of Mette’s very versatile work, she has a striking personal touch to every art piece, and a well recognized brush stroke whether it’s on paper or on porcelain. Mette is continuously working on new paintings and projects. Her most recent project is in collaboration with the jeweler Marianne Dulong. Together they have created moving mobiles, using both painting and jewelry.
