"A Fairytale Christmas"

Our first exhibition during the winter months were supposed to be something very special. We invited 6 skilled artists as well as our wonderful own Anne Marie Nielsen to build an exhibition. The result was breathtakingly beautiful.

May 2021
"Whales of the World"

Our summer exhibition during 2021 became - by complete coincidence - to be about a highly topical subject. In Thyborøn focus was drawn to whales and particularly dolphins, when a flock of dolphins of the species bottlenose found a place the liked in Thyborøn Canal. The fascinating animals got a lot of attention from near and far away.

We have a great understanding of this fascination - and share it - and for the same reason, the theme "whales" have been on our exhibition bucket lists since day one.

The exhibiting artists were:

Vagn Iversen
Søren Brynjolf
Anne Marie Nielsen

"Marvellous winter & Christmas"

Our Christmas exhibition in 2021 wa a revanche on the previous year, where we, due to Covid-19 restrictions, were forced to close almost as soon as we had opened the exhibition. In the enchanting Christmas universe the artists had been given free rein to create. The contrast between the sharp edges of winter and the soft curves of Christmas captured the eye.

The artist Susanne Ahrenkiel exhibited in Iskunsten for the frist time. She created the colourful pieces in this exhibition. The strong colours was a beautiful companion of the crystal clear ice.

Our own Anne Marie Nielsen had decorated with trees, gifts, ornaments - all made from ice - and decorated real Christmas trees with ornaments made of ice.

The exhibiting artists were:

Søren Brynjolf
Susanne Ahrenkiel
Morten Grau Møller
Erling Møller Ransborg

June 2023:
"The world of trolls"

If you read many old Danish folktales, you will undoubtedly come across a troll here and there. Some of the trolls in the stories were nice and friendly, while others were nasty and maybe downright dangerous. Some were small and hid, while others were big and strong. In the old days it was believed that trolls existed in reality. We don't believe that anymore - or do we?

Whether you believe in trolls or not, Iskunsten's new summer exhibition "The World of Trolls" is worth a visit! Here you can meet trolls of all kinds.

The exhibiting artists were:

Peter Hausgaard Gregersen
Søren Lyngbye
Erling Ransborg
