Mark Ebert Løvendahl (b. 1999) works with painting to explore time, memory, and place. His works are often interpretations of specific landscapes and locations, aimed at investigating what they can mean to us and why we keep coming back to visit certain places.

At the center lies the question: How does our perception change when we return to a familiar place? What happens when the memories we carry meet the reality we encounter now? Mark Ebert’s practice opens a space for the viewer to reflect on their own relationship with time: both the time that is, the time to come, and the time we carry within us.

Mark Ebert is fascinated with slowness and calm. In a world where everything seems to move quickly, he maintains work processes that require time and cannot be rushed. The shifts of nature, weather, seasons, and light, play a central role and contribute to marking the passing of time and the impermanence of moments.

His works are quiet, containing both melancholy and hope, and their simple visual language invites contemplation. For Mark Ebert, painting is not just about creating images, but about offering moments in which one can sense their own history, recall the past, and reflect on their perspective of the familiar.

Born and raised in North Jutland, close to the sea, he repeatedly returns to nature in his work. It is both a geographical place and an inner state that he explores – a place to come from, and a place to return to.
