1960s Hand Painted Enameled Copper Wall Composition by Danish Artist Bodil Eje
About the Item
1960s hand painted enameled copper wall composition by Danish artist Bodil Eje
The rare one of a kind composition is made of a richly colorfull and patterned hand paintet enameled copper plate with Bodil Ejes signature and is in very good condition.
Bodil Eje (1931-2006) was born in Frederiksberg as the daughter of the painter Thorvald Hagedorn-Olsen.
Self-taught. Inspired to work with the transparent enamel colors at the meeting with works by the French artist Georges Rouault. She reached the optimal quality with enamel on copper both in crafts and decoration where she shaped the flexible copper plate for dishes or pictures with reliefs in, among other things, boxes and tiles and for example to the Carlsberg brewery with a decoration consisting of four large, deep blue and golden reliefs. Her imagery was abstract and characterized by organic forms. She received the Henry Heerup Award and twice the C.L. David's Prize. She exhibited both in Denmark and abroad, including at the Nordic Enamel Triennial in 1990.
Her dexterious way of combining enamel and copper is unrivaled. Often she works with repeating patterns displaying richly variegated blue, turquoise, indigo, and colorless enamel, surrounding a colorless rectangular mirror glass. During her lifetime Mrs. Eje was the object of moderate interest. However, subsequently her works have enjoyed steadily increasing attention, and only recently she seems to have attained a reputation that fully recognizes her immense and powerful way of expression, and her name is now mentioned far beyond Scandinavia.
