Chan Mi Heo (South Korea)

Using the traditional medium painting, South Korean artist Chan Mi Heo is trying to define what it means to paint and to define the norms associated to it. Instead of using brushes, Chan Mi uses blankets – often as a part of a performance, where she wraps herself in the blankets and at the same time uses them as a tool to paint. Using the landscape as the motive of these expressive paintings, Chan Mi also takes part of a long tradition of landscape painting, at the same time trying to liberate herself from this tradition. 

During her residency in Ebeltoft Chan Mi wants to explore the landscape around the city and to discover how the foreign and unknown nature is gonna affect her artistic way of portraying it.
