Summary:

Women flying and riding. Women playing tennis and ride bicycles. Women drinking and demonstrates. Women living life. Since 2019 that has been the theme of Mie Olise Kjærgaard's colorful and often fabulous paintings. Her work has been grounded in thoughts on women's life - historically and in the art. Now Mie Olise sums up her work in recent years with the book publication Disobedient Muses exposes at the same time a selection of her sources of inspiration. In the book is Mie Olise's paintings thus accompanied by photos of some of history's groundbreaking women, Among other things, the suffragettes; women who threw the corset and sat cross-legged on the horse. 00?With the book, I want to contribute to the ongoing discussion about women's lives before and now. I want at the same time focusing on the female activists and artists we all stand on, ? tells Mie Olise. 00To pay homage to female artists throughout history, Mie Olise refers in her work titles too other works by female artists. It should also be seen as an extension of that unity between women who have historically been instrumental in creating change. 00?Painting is my woman's struggle. I paint women who live inside and out - instead of being beautiful objects that are only seen from the outside. ?
