Kim Kirk Nielsen
Untitled Pink Lace, 2012. 2 meters by 2 meters.
Kim Kirk Nielsen (1983, Denmark). Lives and works in Paris since 2010. The artist investigates the relationship between man and technology in an extremely thorough way. He works diligently with details and precision, so the work mimics reality in the best possible way, in order to emphasize men´s sometimes naive and uncritical faith in new technology and machines. Kim Kirk Nielsen developed his own lace pattern concept. The interest in craftsmanship comes from his childhood in Denmark where nothing was too difficult to make yourself. The big lace works are exclusively made with an ink pen. Only the outline of the pattern is made with a compass. All circles, bows and loops are drawn by hand. As Kim sees it, we live in a time where we are so concerned about the future and the many opportunities that we take the past for granted. kimkirk.dk
