“Automania Grafica”
Gert Rune Sundien
7/5–1/6 2021
Fyns Grafiske Værksted viser i maj måned et kært medlems retrospektive udstilling.
Gert Rune Sundien døde i maj 2018. Nu vises hans grafiske værker gennem 50 år.
Sideløbende med maleri og skulptur, arbejdede Sundien med grafik. Hans motiver fandt han i bysituationer og spændingsfeltet mellem manden, huset og bilen; menneskets eksistens i en kaotisk verden. Deraf affødtes begrebet Automania.
Grafisk arbejdede Sundien gerne med koldnålen, og mestrede en sjælden kraftfuld og intens streg. Der skulle være saft, kraft og nærvær.
Sundien blev uddannet på Det Fynske Kunstakademi i 1969–1974 og debuterede på Kunstnernes Påskeudstilling i ’74. Han var en del af det odenseanske kunstmiljø, som blomstrede op gennem 70’erne og 80’erne, hvor også Fyns Grafiske Værksted blev etableret. Derudover var han en aktiv del af adskillige kunstnergrupper og fællesskaber, såsom RAV og Den Fynske Forårsudstilling. Han deltog også i utallige udstillinger i ind- og udland.
I Sundiens ånd præsenteres hans grafik ledsaget af keramiske værker i en intens stemning af det sort/hvide, det insisterende, det kommenterende og det følsomme “automaniske” univers.
Åbning d. 7. maj kl. 12-17:00. Alle er velkomne. Bemærk venligst, at vi kun må være 10 i Grafikken ad gangen.

May 7th–June 1st, 2021
In May Funen Printmaking Studio show a retrospective exhibition of our dear member Gert Rune Sundien. Gert Rune Sundien died in May of 2018. Now his prints of the last 50 years will be displayed.
Alongside painting and sculpture, Sundien worked with printmaking. He found his motives in urban situations and in the field of tension that exists between man, house and car, human existence in a chaotic world. This is where the concept of Automania was born.
Sundien liked to work in dry point, mastering a rare and powerful intense stroke. There had to be power and presence.
Sundien graduated from the Funen Art Academy in 1974, and made his debut the same year at the Artists’ Easter Exhibition in.Aarhus. He was part of the Odense art establishment, which flourished through the 70’s and 80’s – this is also when Funen Printmaking Studio was founded.
In addition, he was an active part of several artist groups and communities, such as RAV and the Funen Spring Exhibition. He also participated in countless exhibitions in Denmark and abroad.
In the spirit of Sundien, his prints will be presented alongside his ceramic works in an intense vibe of black and white: an insistent, commenting and sensitive “automanic” universe.
Opening the 7th of May at 12-17:00, everyone is welcome.
