Ane Lykke

In her glowing wall sculpture, the Red Light Object, exquisitely handmade in cypress wood, the Danish artist Ane Lykke masterly blends Nordic perspectives with the Japanese Kumiko wood technique. The three-dimensional grid system creates an interaction between the different levels of grids, revealing subtle changes in light, shadow, depth and reflection for the viewers passing by. The Red Light Object creates, due to its considerable size, a substantial physical impact on the beholder: “My aim is to create a dialogue, a direct bodily connection with the surroundings.”

Ane Lykke has a vast experience of creating site-specific works and large-scale installations in public spaces. The works are often three-dimensional, creating illusions of depth and infinity. Ane Lykke creates spaces and objects that engage the viewers and users. The works are artistic and at the same time functional with a long-term sustainable quality.
