Luminous angels, majestic sphinxes and bestial figures appear before us, arrayed in the seven spectral colours of the rainbow. This prolifically imaginative, colourful imagery has been conjured up by Danish artist Arild Rosenkrantz. In Denmark, he was and remains something of an alien figure, and his name is far less recognized than those of fellow contemporary artists such as J.F. Willumsen or L.A. Ring. This October, a major exhibition will remedy matters somewhat, shedding new light on this overlooked artist and his fascinating life’s work.
