Agnete Bertram (b. 1983)

Untitled, 2022. Signed on the reverse. Oil on manifold and pigment and glue on textile. Visible size 44×40 cm.

The Danish artist Agnete Bertram (b. 1983) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. Bertram graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen in 2008. She describes her work as “a conversation”, “a rhythm”, “a stroke”, which together create a pictorial act. The conversation can stem from a historical perspective, an understanding of space, everyday repetition, or interaction with nature. Though working in a variety of materials, Bertram has a passion for the ‘living’ quality of yarn and draws inspiration from tapestry, a form of expression used by mainly female visual and textile artists. Bertram regards it as an honor to perpetuate this tradition.
