about
Lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I work primarily with painting and drawing and use contemporary art as a tool to research and reflect on current topics. I like to explore and mix different processes, materials and techniques.
I pick up 1 stone,
and let it fall into grey waters,
I have changed the world
I walk in the snow,
my footprints are left behind,
I have changed the world
because I touch you,
you move your gaze 7 millimetres towards me,
and I have changed the world
Henrik S. Holck
