Rooms where almost nothing happens — and everything is felt.
Vilhelm Hammershøi painted rooms that were intensely private. While his contemporaries chased light outdoors or the bustle of modern life, Hammershøi turned inward. He documented the quiet interiors of his Copenhagen home with a muted palette of grays, browns, and soft whites.
His figures, usually his wife Ida, are often turned away from the viewer. They are absorbed in tasks or life, asking us not to interpret an action, but to feel the atmospheric weight of a room.
An exploration of the quiet interior structure.

"In response to Hammershøi's restrained interiors, my own work focuses on the quiet solitude found within structural ruins."
