Meta Isæus-Berlin's own words about the exhibitions:

When I came to the gallery, I immediately saw the potential of the rooms.

The large spaces invited me to travel in time.

The gap between the two rooms represented the 8 years during which I didn’t even pick up the paint brush.

In these rooms, the exhibition spans, starting with “My first oil painting” from 1980, and ending with “The blossoming fruit tree in the grotto/Blossoming fruit tree on dark ground (Hill)” which I completed this year.

The oblong room, much like a portrait gallery in which old rows of balloon-pant-clad kings would hang.

My friends and my family have helped to co-create this project, which in itself is a micro time capsule.

Welcome!
