In places to go, people to see, Emily Bisgaard presents habits of doing.

The high number of 233 works is tribute to our familiar cycle of “grind”. It is a representation of the life that we have become accustomed to, the ordinary, the mundane, and the beautiful. It questions why we push ourselves, whose expectations are we fulfilling? How does this constant push affect who we are?

Among the paintings, the artistic style of faceless figures and single brushstrokes provides a commonality of our experiences. The colors gear towards a playful naivety and optimism, as well as giving space for the more mysterious questioning of the work.

On a large scale it encapsulates the audience by its size and gives the viewer freedom to play imagine their own stories along the way.
