~ OPENING 21 NOVEMBER ~ ANNA MUNK
As a painter, Anna Munk builds up layered surfaces and historical quotations much like sculpting figures, while working through questions of aging versus appearance, decay versus density, make-up versus still life.
Munk blows up 19th-century still life paintings found in storage catalogues of grand museum collections, turning these into a series of new billboard-sized canvases. The motifs are partly contoured from a palette of eyeshadow, highlighter, lip gloss, and foundation. The classical painterly creation and capture of a moment of beauty of, for instance, the fruit in the still life—and its imminent, haunting threat of decay—are thus mirrored in today’s omnipresent libidinous economy of the fresh face and painted (faux) appearance.
Join us for the opening of the exhibition on Friday 21 November!
Vernissage: 7–9pm
Opening party: 9pm—1am / DJs: Lukas Danys ~ Mikkel Ulriksen
The event is co-hosted by Anna Gunvor/Proxy. The bar will be open, serving cold refreshments.
The solo exhibition by Munk will be on display show 25 January 2026.

𝑭𝒓𝒖𝒊𝒕 𝑷𝒐𝒎-𝑷𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒔 by Anna Munk is included as part of The Historian, on-view at the gallery until 18 April 🍎
The composition for this work is appropriated from a Gustave Courbet still-life, completed late in life whilst he was imprisoned. Munk has flipped Courbet’s original arrangement to present its mirror image. By using a pre-existing painting from the canon of art history in this way, Munk sublimates elements of her own artistic decision-making, allowing for broader questions about absence and authorship to emerge.
Her choice of subject explores the legacy and preservation of favoured cultural objects, alongside considerations of transience and desire which are inherent to the still-life genre. From working at museums, Munk has first-hand experience of seeing paintings restored, as well as those hidden art objects which are too frail or damaged to be publicly exhibited.
Here she situates Courbet’s pomegranates and apples in an ambiguous blank colour field. As a result, the painting seems caught in a process of dissolution (or coming into being) that mirrors the threat of imminent decay embodied by the dark silhouettes of these over-ripe fruits.
