Møbelsnedker Mads Høgsted Jensen
En kreativ sans skal være svær at mætte.
Mads Høgsted Jensen er møbelsnedker først og fremmest. Indfald fra omverdenen har gjort ham til kunsthåndværker. Når han ikke restaurerer møbler eller løser opgaver for kunder, overtager lysten til at fremstille noget. Han er udlært til at flytte grænserne inden for sit fag, men holder på nordjysk rationale. Disse unikamøbler er alle lavet ud fra smalle skitser og improvisation. Og tanker - Masser af tanker. Der drages inspiration fra den danske møbelkunsts guldalder, samt asiatisk og britisk møbeltradition.
Kim heyst er en Nordjysk kunstner og illustrator, der arbejder med surrealisme, spontanitet og det fantastiske. Selvom de fleste motiver er abstrakte, tager de udgangspunkt i gyser – og science fiction litteratur, og tegneserier. Tidligere har han skabt værker til pladecovers bl.a. De underjordiske, Michael Ellis og Sounds Like Roskilde og illustreret bøger for Escho og forlaget kosmos.

Cabinetmaker Mads Høgsted Jensen
A creative sense must be difficult to satiate.
Mads Høgsted Jensen is a cabinetmaker first and foremost. Whims from the outside world have made him an artisan. When he is not restoring furniture or solving tasks for customers, the desire to make something takes over. He is trained to push the boundaries
within his profession, but sticks to the North Jutland rationale. These unique pieces of furniture are all made from narrow sketches and improvisation. And thoughts - Lots of thoughts. Inspiration is drawn from the golden age of Danish furniture art, as well as Asian and British furniture traditions.
Kim Heyst is a Northern Jutland artist and illustrator who works with surrealism, spontaneity, and the fantastic. Although most of his motifs are abstract, they are inspired by horror and science fiction literature, as well as comic books. He has previously created album covers for De Underjordiske, Michael Ellis, and Sounds Like Roskilde, and illustrated books for Escho and Forlaget Kosmos.
