MIA SLOTH MØLLER

Mia Sloth Møller was educated at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.

Mia is fascinated by colors, how they can change space and how they can affect us. She works intensely with abstract painting, and she circles around subjects that come straight from the heart; emotions and moods.

Mia works primarily on paper and canvas. In recent years she has become very fond of working in smaller formats, but for many years her favorite format has been the large gable murals painted directly on city buildings. You can see these gable paintings in many places in Vordingborg municipality; in Stege, Klintholm Havn, Vordingborg and Jungshoved. And the latest and also the largest mural of 500 m2 is in Offenbach am Main in Germany. This was a collaboration with Fabian Vogler.

'In recent years it has been exciting and inspiring for me to work and exhibit together with my husband, Fabian. We experience again and again that our works play really well together, even though our expressions are very different,' says Mia Sloth Møller.

FABIAN VOGLER

After training as a sculptor in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and completing a three year apprenticeship as a wood sculptor in Flensburg,  Fabian Vogler studied sculpture with the Austrian figurative sculptor Gerda Fassel at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Lastly he completed his Masters at the University of East London with Grenville Davey.

His passion is the creation of the human figure in multi-dimensional space. He finds so-called "superforms", human figures that integrate diverse, overarching themes from the history of mankind and art – in order to depict the human being as multi-layered as possible. 

The main inspiration for Fabian's figures is drawn from archaeological findings, such as the prehistoric Venus depictions and idol figurines, e.g. the Venus von Willendorf or von Hohle Fels and Cycladic idol figures. Also enthnological artifacts, such as Dogu ceramics or sculptures from Africa or Oceania are always a grand influence.

His preferred material is bronze. The plaster originals for the bronze casting are created by casting everyday objects, such as balloons, inflatable balloons, inflatable toys and packaging, but also from digitally designed and 3D-printed objects.

Since meeting Mia there has come a grand (re)understanding and -discovering of the beauty and energy of colors. It has come more and more into his sculptures and presentational work.

Fabian also has a studio in Sydsleswig in northern Germany in Bargum, which Mia and Fabian also use jointly. He regularly takes part in national and international exhibitions as well as artist symposia and residencies. His works can be found in public spaces as well as in public and private collections.
