The apricot trees exist, ‘The apricot trees exist" Acrylics and Oil Pastels on Linen 62.9" x 47.2" in 160 x 120 cm 2025 Thomas Mau – After AlphabetIn this series, Danish artist Thomas Mau conjures a spectral echo of Inger Christensen’s Alphabet—a book of poems structured like a spell, growing through the Fibonacci sequence, incanting both the beauty of the world and its undoing. Man’s paintings unfold like haunted verses. Shapes shimmer at the edge of disappearance; colors bleed through as if recalled from memory or dream. Layer by layer, the works invoke the alphabet not only as a structure of meaning but as a fragile architecture through which ghosts pass—of language, of species, of futures threatened or lost. What remains is not illustration but apparition: a visual translation of Christensen’s logic and lament, where form becomes atmosphere, and each painting a quiet reckoning with time, language, and the inevitable vanishing.
