parallel

21 March – 27 April 2025

In the graphic print series parallel, Pedro Boese follows the idea of interpreting a printed work as an object, as a unity of motive, paper and frame. He explores the relationship between the print’s visual space, the space around it and the space between each individual work. What drives him the most, is the potential of colour, its different qualities and its ability to change with interaction.

In his painting and prints, Pedro Boese deals with the geometric form, the color and the background, the structure of which becomes visible through omissions and removal of color. This interaction creates a tension between the integrity of the work and its dissolution.

The graphic workshop at SVfK enabled Boese to print in larger formats than usual and thus he has been able to achieve a more complex composition.

Opening: 21 March from 3pm-5pm in Strandgade 27B, Christianshavn.
