Søren Behncke

Copenhagen

It can be hard to see the forest for the trees. In the exhibition Stepmother Nature, Søren Behncke examines our current relationship with nature. Through paintings, sculptures, drawings and installation, he honestly and humorously surveys the affair between culture and nature.

Entering the gallery you are greeted by a forest, a set piece forest created in cardboard. Through the forest one can catch a glimpse of a large painting titled Hit Hot Hood, a Robin Hood like figure has brought down, with bow and arrow, all the cartoon inhabitants of the forest. Dumbo, Woody Woodpecker and other familiar animal faces lie scattered, perforated by arrows and lifeless in the woods.
