Martin Brandt Hansen

Born 1990, Nuuk, Greenland.

Lives and works in Copenhagen

Martin Brandt Hansen works primarily in sculpture and installation, with a significant style that stems from his Greenlandic origin. His exhibition X-RAY TARGETS shows a series of works, exploring mythology from Inuit culture, as can be seen in his interpretation of the classic tupilaq figure, where he challenges and explores the traditional scales and materials.

The objects in Brandt Hansen’s works range from his sculptural interpretations of traditional Inuit artifacts to a representation of imported manufactured objects from Greenland - showing the classic iconography of Western mass culture and its influence. The Objects that are all reflecting a larger historical, social, and cultural meaning, come together and create a strong visual narrative
