THE COLLABORATION
The title Enhver sin stilhed — Each to their own silence — suggests something inward and individual: a private space that can be carried even while moving through the world.
For Artist Edition #14, Martin Bigum’s painting becomes a limited wearable artwork, moving from canvas to textile and from wall to body. The work enters changing light, weather and everyday situations that are rarely part of an artwork’s original life.
THE ARTIST
Martin Bigum is a Danish artist whose work combines an immediately recognisable visual language with layers of historical and cultural reference. Born in 1966, he lives and works in Copenhagen, and his work has been exhibited in Denmark and internationally.
His work is represented in collections including ARKEN, ARoS and SMK — the National Gallery of Denmark. Alongside his studio practice, Bigum is known for communicating art through writing and television.
THE ARTWORK
The artwork opens into a light blue space where flowers and faces move through the composition. Across the Sittingsuit surface, that visual world surrounds the wearer rather than remaining at a distance.
The edition reflects Bigum’s interest in allowing art to communicate widely without losing the integrity of the original work. Artist Edition #14 was produced as a limited edition of 100 pieces.
