Maria Bang Espersen has built a reputation as a groundbreaking  international artist working in glass over the last 10 years, but has only recently gained attention in Denmark for her unique sculptural works. Galleri MONTAN is delighted to present her playful yet elegant sculptures which look like a mixture of shiny silk, hard metal, and a soft, pliable sugar mass.  It is this complexity that makes the work so wondrous as well as irresistible. The sculptures resist easy decoding and instead play with our perception  as well as encourage an immersion into a fantastical and remarkable world that is entirely unique to Espersen's style of working. The artist develops her own techniques and deliberately goes against traditional ways of processing glass. She finds liberation in rejecting old hierarchies and in embracing uncertainty within the process of making.
