Mie Olise Kjærgaard (Born 1974), is a Danish painter who graduated from Central St. Martins in London in 2008 with a Master's in Fine Art. She works with painting, sculptural objects and installation. Mie Olise's work focuses on the theme of “man-made constructions”. Through her paintings, Olise examines both the nature of the architectural construction, as well as how a construction describes the society of which it is a part.
The artist has traveled to communities in various stages of decay: twice to the Arctic Circle to investigate an abandoned Russian mining town and to New Foundland in the tracks of the character Espen Arnakke, who was the subject of the solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Nikolaj (DK) in 2012.
Mie Olise Kjærgaard has exhibited at UMOCA – Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, MFAH – Museum of Fine Art Houston, MAAA – Museo de Arte Acarigua, Venezuela; Nikolaj Kunsthal (DK), SNYK – Skive New Museum of Art, (DK), Torrance Art Museum in LA; Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston, Texas; Honor Fraser, LA; Samuel Freeman, LA; Duve Berlin and Galleri Kant in Copenhagen.
