Artists 2019

We are proud to show artists and their artwork for the Art Jam in Kolding 2019! See the participants and their art below.

Nishimura Naruo
Japan
Wood Sculpture

Do you remember Naruo? He participated at the Højer Art Jam for the first time back in 2004. In 2019 he came back again to participate at both Art Jam in Kolding and Højer, and he’s easily describable! Let’s call him a crock-wearing multi-talent. He’s spreading humor and joy around him with his always fun comments and good mood, he is playing the special Japanese guitar like a trained musician and he is swinging the chainsaw like a professional superstar. Oh, yeah… and he is wearing crocks – even on the dance floor! Did we mention that he is a REALLY good dancer?! His work requires a high level of precision, accuracy and mathematical skills, as he completely chopped up his trunk in small pieces before reconnecting them into a finished artwork puzzle. Thank you, Naruo, for your breathtaking result – and for being a joy spreader at the Art Jam.

Jiang Long
China
Wood Sculpture

Jiang participated at the Art Jam 2019 for the first time. And what an experience for us! First of all, he brought his wife and their 3-month old baby. Do we need to mention that the baby drew a lot of attention with her cuteness?! On the surface Jiang is a quiet and easy-going artist. Maybe that is the reason why we all got a great surprise when Jiang one night suddenly started singing, what we would call, a Chinese rap-song. It was so much fun to see another side of Jiang and we are so thankful for getting the chance to meet him. Jiang’s works where loved by everyone and he is a concentrated and ambitious creator. His results at the Art Jams were stunningly beautiful.
Thanks Jiang!

Franzi Agrawal
Germany
Wood Sculpture

Franziska participated at the Art Jam in Kolding 2019, which was her first ever wood sculpture symposium. She is a well-known snow sculptor and is focusing on geometric forms in her works.
Franziska was an interesting acquaintance and we got to know her from several sides, both the hard-working artist who wanted to develop, the slightly reserved and thoughtful person, but certainly also as a bit of a party lover when getting on the dance floor.
Thank you for your participation at the Art Jam in Kolding.

Sang-heon Lee
South Korea
Wood Sculpture

Some of you might remember Lee, as he has participated at the Art Jam before. As always, his friendly attitude affected everyone around him, and his funny jokes where giving us great laughs. Lee knows very well how to start a party and he likes to invite everyone to join. His work discipline is as high as his skill to have a good time, and he is creating artworks with accuracy and symbolic vision. His artworks are always telling a story and if you don’t understand the message of his creations, Lee is always ready to talk about art and his stories. Furthermore, he is a fantastic singer. So, we can easily say that he is a storyteller – both with his hands when he is sculpting and when he is singing Korean songs. Lee is a wise and loving person, and we are very honored to having had the possibility of building a strong friendship with Lee.

Gleb Dusavitskiy
Russia
Wood Sculpture

Gleb participated at previous Art Jam’s in Højer and he became a well-known face at the Jam. This year he made a breathtaking artwork in Kolding. In Højer he was realizing the sculpture-part of our Children Art Project. Gleb used his positivity in his work process with the kids. He included the kids in all processes of the project and gave them an ownership of the finished artwork. They loved his easy-going and relaxed attitude and the other artists enjoyed his funny jokes. Gleb is a very talented artist and he is a helpful and good person. We are very happy that Gleb was a part of the Art Jam once again - thank you for your positive vibes, Gleb!

Jenia Filatova
Moscow
Photography

Jenia participated for the first time at the Art Jam in 2019. Jenia is a very talented and very special young art photographer with a very clear vision of her ideas and how to achieve them. She is not afraid of telling her opinion and she has an interesting personality. Her ideas lead to many interesting situations and stunning results. We met her professional, hard-working side, but were also lucky to get to know her fun private sides during the Jams. We learned that she is a very focused and hard-working artist, who is not accepting the next-best and we learned that she is full of jokes and joy and that she LOVES pistachio ice cream!
Thank you Jenia, for becoming a part of the Art-Jam family.
