Reflektions - Acrylic on Canvas 24'' x 31.5'' Magda Hogh’s abstract paintings reflect her lifelong passion for the beauty of the Danish countryside where she lives and works. She re-imagines her daily rural encounters as highly personal landscapes and uses the canvas not only as a means of communicating the beauty that she sees, but also the feelings she felt in that moment. Her work conveys nature’s balance between control and spontaneity, and she creates a dramatic tension with her use of primarily straight lines, stunning colors and overall composition. Fractured shapes that vacillate between the solid and transparent conjure moods that range from melancholy to contemplative and joyful. Light-colored, graceful brushstrokes glow with boldly expressive shapes, and create a poetic environment of non-figurative forms that speak directly to the core of our aesthetic experience.

Her square shapes echo the confines of the canvas itself, lending her work a quietly intense resonance. Her brushwork intensifies her paintings' surfaces, giving them a stimulating texture.

Warm, dark tones often surround bright, jagged or rootless squares, forcefully bring home the underlying, complex moods of these pieces. Whatever her original inspiration, the intensity of Magda Hogh's work is always nourishing. She confidently uses the tools of art to her own unique ends and speaks to us in a visual language all her own.
