Mads Gamdrup’s solo exhibition In Company with Titan White presents a new series of monochrome oil paintings that explore the physical presence of color in the delicate balance between transparency and density. Layer upon layer of hand-ground natural pigment builds the surface, allowing each hue to unfold into its own internal scale of shades and intensities. As colors shift and interact within the layers, the works invite quiet contemplation – where color is not just seen but experienced.
For more than three decades, Gamdrup has worked with photography, investigating the interplay of color, light, and transparency. In 2021, he presented his first solo exhibition dedicated entirely to painting, marking a significant shift in his practice. While the methodology for these new works remains consistent – monochrome paintings created with pigment – there is now a new element: Titan White. This addition raises questions about what happens when another element enters the composition. The presence of Titan White becomes a metaphor for interaction and the transformative potential of being in the company of another.
