Pressclippings


Intense Play with Colours in a new Exhibition

"[...] With a steady and poetic hand André Lundquist draws a beautiful and colourful world.
At first sight everything seems calm and idyllic. Maybe lightly subdued.
But behind the light and faint shades burns a fire of power and intensity that is only held back by the frame"

Carl Chr. Madsen, Frederikshavn











André Lundquist in Gallery Marta

"[...] André Lundquist's paintings are characterized by their contemporariness and common humanity across sex, race, and artistic attitude. He does not paint trendily, but has his own style [...]"

Marianne D. Cornett, Frederikshavn, July 29, 2005










Around in Denmark

"[...] The painter André Lundquist is the present exhibiting artist. […] He focuses on the human being, primarily groups of people. Each painting tells a story, and he describes situations from human life"

Kristian Jensen









Kirsten Kjær's Museum

"[...] Entering the separate exhibition of André Lundquist and Zura one reaches the height of the museum exhibition. Especially the oblong gallery hall with the large paintings is interesting. As it can be seen, they primarily represent the human body, but in different ways. André Lundquist's paintings are concentrated experience of the mind from which it can be hard to tear oneself loose.

[...] André Lundquist's choice of colours and nearly one-dimensional paintings as well as the ornamentally wired outlines make one think of the symbolist painters around the 1890s for example the Danish painter J.F. Willumsen, Gauguin, Schiele, and Klimt. André Lundquist, however, is his own. Both due to the numerous contentious meanings of the paintings and to his special, intense power. [...]

[...] One experience and senses with André Lundquist"

Three new Artist Exhibit in Tårnet

"André Lundquist tells stories of a human life in his paintings. The story of the blooming love, of friendships, and of the living life. Personal experience and creative development have left their marks in his art"

Frederiksborg Amts Avis, September 26, 2002






Disturbing Moods in Tårnet

"This is the three artists (André Lundquist with little Emil on his arm, Ulla Faurby Steengård, and Anna Lindgreen). At the reception they are subdued in their behaviour, but their artistic works are anything but subdued. These are very powerful and some of them almost disturbing, Lis Jensen, chairwoman of the Art Society (in Hundested), says"
