One More Gallery

OPENING RECEPTION – SATURDAY, 5 SEPTEMBER, 10 AM–2 PM

From Paris to Berlin – and a collaboration like no other

DENCKER+SCHNEIDER and Jørgen Skou at One More Gallery

When the artist duo DENCKER+SCHNEIDER exhibit together again, it will be at One More Gallery in Assens.

This time, they will be joined by visual artist Jørgen Skou, who is also one of the gallery’s regular artists.

It promises to be a very special Saturday at OMG. Henrik Dencker will be appearing that same evening in a well-known baking show premiering on television, so visitors will have the opportunity to meet him at the gallery earlier in the day. We will be celebrating with sweet treats, good spirits and, of course, plenty of art.

The exhibition features paintings, works on paper and sculptures, all of which in different ways reflect the strong creative collaboration between Henrik Dencker and Sonny Schneider.

DENCKER+SCHNEIDER began working together in Frederiksberg, where they established a shared studio. It quickly developed into both a gallery and an exhibition space for themselves and other artists. Three years later, they moved on to Berlin. For a number of years, they exhibited their own work there while also providing a platform for emerging artists from around the world.

Over the past five years, they have each focused on their individual artistic practices, working in media including painting, drawing and sculpture. Now they are renewing their collaboration at OMG.

Alongside a selection of individual works, DENCKER+SCHNEIDER will present a collaborative work consisting of ten paintings.

“We have worked with icons that we both remember from our childhood and youth in the 1970s – images and symbols that still remain vivid in our memories.”

– Henrik Dencker

The two artists have worked within the same thematic framework, while each developing the works through their own distinctive artistic language.

“We have both worked from the same source of inspiration and the same central theme, using the media that each of us feels most at home with. The result is a striking graphic expression in which drawing, painting, sculpture and text come together to tell the story of what it was like to grow up in the 1970s.”

– Sonny Schneider

Over the years, Henrik Dencker has also published a novel, a children’s book and four collections of poetry. Sonny Schneider has, among other projects, contributed to a major art commission for the Nordea Foundation together with other visual artists and was selected for the juried KE exhibition in both 2022 and 2024.

Jørgen Skou – from Paris to new artistic mash-ups

The exhibition also features works by Jørgen Skou, whose artistic background is in many ways as diverse as the works he creates.

Skou originally trained at the School of Arts and Crafts, now the Royal Danish Academy’s School of Design. His professional career took him to the design studio of fashion house Pierre Cardin in Paris, followed by a leading role with a French menswear brand and many years in the fashion industry until 2000.

When Jørgen Skou creates art, he draws on the techniques, craftsmanship and precision developed over an entire professional career. His works are painted, sewn and constructed – often characterised by a precise and geometric visual language.

For the exhibition at OMG, he will present new works created in collaboration with artists Pernille Greve and Hedda Hondon Raa.

The result is a series of beautiful “mash-ups”, in which three very different artistic expressions come together in a single work. It is both a challenge and an opportunity: How can three individual voices each retain their identity while at the same time creating one shared visual language?

Come and experience the result at OMG from 5 September.

Visit One More Gallery and discover just how successfully these artistic collaborations have come together.

Dencker, Schneider and Skou will all be present at the opening reception on Saturday, 5 September, from 10 AM to 2 PM, where they will talk about their works, their collaborations and the stories behind them.

And there will also be a sweet surprise for everyone who joins us.
