Nature’s greatest wonders are often the ones we almost miss. 🦋

Dutch artist Roos Holleman (b. 1989) works between Copenhagen and the Netherlands, creating meticulously detailed pastel drawings that bring us closer to the hidden marvels of the natural world. Moth wings, skin, plant fragments, textures, and surfaces are rendered with extraordinary precision, revealing intricate patterns and structures that often escape our attention.

Her works move between scientific observation and poetic contemplation. Looking closely at a moth’s wing or the delicate texture of a surface, Holleman uncovers the remarkable complexity hidden within seemingly ordinary forms. Entire worlds unfold within the smallest fragments of nature, inviting us to slow down, look again, and rediscover a sense of wonder.

Roos Holleman is part of Get Your Paper Here! — Formation Gallery’s first annual exhibition dedicated to contemporary paper-based art.

Featuring works by Idun Baltzersen, Heiko Blankenstein, Magali Cazo, Cathrine Raben Davidsen, Johanne Helga Heiberg, Roos Holleman, Brian McHenry, Mad Meg, Maldo Nollimerg, Ragnar Persson, Jon Pilkington, Krista Rosenkilde, Morten Schelde, Simon Schubert, Isabella Vella and Michael Würtz Overbeck.

📍 Formation Gallery, Copenhagen
📅 On view until 4 July 2026

ART MATTER FESTIVAL — GALLERY NIGHT ✨

Art Matter Festival has officially kicked off, and this Friday we are delighted to take part in Gallery Night together with a wonderful group of fellow galleries and art spaces across Vesterbro and Frederiksberg.

From 5–8 PM, the galleries open their doors for an informal and inspiring evening where art, conversation, and atmosphere intertwine. It is a chance to explore local galleries, discover new works, and meet artists and gallerists face to face — whether you are a seasoned collector or simply curious about contemporary art.

At the gallery, Anne Riber will host ongoing walk-and-talks in the paper-based group exhibition Get Your Paper Here, introducing the exhibition and some of the featured artists and works.

An especially refreshing drink with an exotic twist will be served throughout the evening.

Walk & talks every 20 minutes between 5–8 PM.

We look very much forward to welcoming you ✨

We are so happy to have now opened the very first edition of our new annual group exhibition, Get Your Paper Here! ✨

We could not be more excited about this year’s artistic line-up and the incredible contributions each artist has brought to the exhibition. Together, the works create a rich and vibrant dialogue throughout the space, and we hope visitors will find both inspiration, intimacy, and new perspectives within the exhibition.

This exhibition also reflects some of the key artistic directions and ongoing interests of the gallery- particularly our longstanding focus on drawing and paper-based practices in contemporary art.

Featuring works by:
Idun Balzersen (SE), Heiko Blankenstein (DE/CH), Magali Cazo (FR), Cathrine Raben Davidsen (DK), Johanne Helga Heiberg (DK), Roos Holleman (NL), Brian McHenry (UK/IE), Mad Meg (FR), Maldo Nollimerg (FR), Ragnar Persson (SE), Jon Pilkington (UK/DK), Krista Rosenkilde (DK), Morten Schelde (DK), Simon Schubert (DE), Isabella Vella (CA/UK), and Michael Würtz Overbeck (DK).

We are truly looking forward to sharing the exhibition with you over the coming weeks, and we hope many of you will stop by to experience these remarkable works.

The exhibition runs until July 4, just before the summer holidays ☀️

A huge thank you to everyone who came and celebrated our group exhibition Get Your Paper Here! together with us and many of the participating artists at last night’s opening. We are incredibly happy and grateful to have shared the evening with all of you.

And a very special thank you to all the artists for their wonderful contributions to the exhibition. We would also like to extend a special thank you to who helped curate the exhibition and who is also presenting two fantastic works in the show.

We are so excited to present the exhibition throughout the next six weeks leading up to the summer holidays, and we hope many of you will stop by to experience these both spectacular and intimate works, where paper and line take center stage. ✨

We are thrilled to announce Formation Gallery’s participation in CAN Art Ibiza 2026, taking place from June 25–28 on Ibiza.

For the fair, we will present a duo presentation featuring new works by Danish artists Birgitte Vad and Carl Krull. The presentation brings together Krull’s dynamic and bodily paintings with Vad’s tactile mirror works and richly textured canvases, unfolding a dialogue between movement, materiality, reflection, surface, and depth.

Carl Krull’s paintings revolve around the body and human presence, expressed through explosive gestures, layered compositions, pulsating lines, movement, depth, and vivid colour. His works balance intensity and sensitivity, creating immersive compositions charged with energy and physicality. Birgitte Vad explores identity, aesthetics, femininity, and contemporary visual culture through textile-like structures, shimmering surfaces, and sensuous details balancing fragility and strength. Together, the two artists create a presentation that moves between the intuitive and the constructed, the monumental and the intimate.

We are very much looking forward to bringing this special presentation to Ibiza this summer.

We are thrilled to present Cathrine Raben Davidsen as part of Get Your Paper Here! — our upcoming group exhibition dedicated to contemporary drawing and paper-based practices.

Drawing from mythology, science, history, literature, and personal narratives, Raben Davidsen creates immersive works that move between the poetic and the existential. Her richly layered visual worlds — spanning drawing, printmaking, painting, and ceramics — make her one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Danish art today.

We are incredibly proud to include her work alongside a strong international lineup of artists exploring the many possibilities of paper and drawing today.

Get your Paper here! Opens this Friday 5-8 pm. All are welcome 🥂

Our full line up of international and local artists are:
Idun Balzersen (SE), Heiko Blankenstein (DE/CH), Magali Cazo (FR), Cathrine Raben Davidsen (DK), Johanne Helga Heiberg (DK), Roos Holleman (NL), Brian McHenry (UK/IE), Mad Meg (FR), Maldo Nollimerg (FR), Ragnar Persson (SE), Jon Pilkington (UK/DK), Krista Rosenkilde (DK), Morten Schelde (DK), Simon Schubert (DE), Isabella Vella (CA/UK), Michael Würtz Overbeck (DK)
