artist Julian Charrière</a> (b. 1987) is a central figure on the international contemporary art scene. With an activist and scientific approach, Charrière explores our changing ideas of nature and how these have transformed across time. He invites critical reflection on humanity's use of natural resources and its impact on the environment and ecosystems in all-encompassing installations.</p><p>The exhibition Solarstalgia will immerse visitors in a darkened, marsh-like environment that evokes the ancient swamps of the Carboniferous era, highlighting the transformation of organic matter into fossil fuels over millions of years. Through a number of large-scale installations, Charrière underscores the absurdity of humanity's exploitation of these ancient landscapes and the deep temporal and emotional dissonance it creates.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>A play on the concept of solastalgia, the title suggests a collective deep-seated anxiety about environmental change and ecological collapse. In a scenography of past and present, the show connects existing artworks such as Panchronic Garden and An Invitation to Disappear with groundbreaking new commissions that invite the public to project themselves into endangered ecosystems and become protectors on their behalf.</p><p><br></p>" itemprop="description" />

Frederik Næblerød</a> (b. 1988). He is known for his uncompromising art, where he challenges with great creative power our accustomed understanding of painting and sculpture in a raw, energetic and playful style.</p><p>With his works ranging from painting, ceramics, bronze and drawing to large-scale installations, he has created a very special artistic universe that invites us inside into the spontaneous, absurd and humorous. The exhibition at ARKEN will be an intense and sensual encounter with Frederik Næblerød's art. The exhibition is full of surprising spaces, and on the way around you get very close to the artist and his gaze on the contemporary. Frederik Næblerød unfolds a unique, humorous and boundary-breaking idiom in his works, which are sampled from science fiction, myths, dreams and images that he sees in everyday life. Næblerød creates art out of a great inner necessity, and at ARKEN there is an exhibition where art and life flow together.</p><p><br></p>" itemprop="description" />
