Hans Alf Gallery
Copenhagen, June and July, 2026

In the exhibition “Diet for a 1980’s Poet” Anders SCRMN Meisner presents a series of new paintings, inspired by the visual universe of the pop art movement. Trivial objects like cherries, grapes and apples are transformed into images charged with symbols of desire and longing, while simultaneously containing a latent melancholia, a sensibility emerging from each canvas and taking shape of birds or skeletons hiding under blooming sunflowers.

The exhibition’s title refers to Meisner’s own upbringing in the 1980s and the hunger for images that characterized his generation, as they learned, in the wake of pop art, that art and poetry exist everywhere. In Meisner’s practice, painting becomes a translation of the artist’s mental images and experiences onto canvas, through which he attempts to preserve some of the energy and emotional intensity associated with memory.
