The paintings by Jeppe Lauge show a fragmented landscape. While using both realistic and abstracted elements, he brings about contradicting sensations, alternating between the peaceful and unsettling. In these paintings, Jeppe documents nature as he sees it. ‘Mediated nature’ is the term he uses to describe how we shape the environment we live in. The geometric abstractions are not only a remark on the shaping of our environment, but also function as a comment on our digital existence.
In his newest works, Jeppe uses these abstract patterns to create a kind of fog. As he explains: ‘When walking through a fog, your senses are sharpened in a way. The colour spectrum is different, what you’re able to see is limited, but what's just around you gains a totally different kind of attention. It’s interesting that by adding a geometric abstraction I am able to direct what gets your attention.’
