About The Artwork
After having worked intensively the portrait I felt like "chopping heads off". Recently the bodies more or less disappear to leave mainly the envelope of clothing. I use old photographs that I blow up and make into melancholic paintings of silhouettes and mundane objects from my parents' Danish childhood, ghost paintings all at once ordinary and over realistic, like characters in a silent movie. This "acephalous approach" permits me to eradicate all representation of the individual and tell a universal tale, less personal and intimate than the story told by the portrait”.

Born in 1974 in Denmark, Christina Holdgaard has been living and working in Paris for over fifteen years.
Christina Holdgaard is both a trained artist, having followed a practical education in various Left Bank ateliers, and an art historian, graduating from Sorbonne University in Paris. The originality of her work is based upon this dual, practical and academic, background, as well as on her inspiration, rooted in both the French and the Scandinavian formal and stylistic vocabularies. The visual quality of her work is striking from the first glance : the colors are intense and seductive. They are spread in large and dense, sometimes patterned, surfaces, giving the paintings a very even and pop-art touch. Moreover, the static pose of the models, combined with the large size of the canvases, adds to the felt impression of sculptural monumentality and physical presence.
