Dorte Dahlin

Dorte Dahlin (born 1955) is a Danish artist who entered the art scene in the early 1980s as part of the Wild Youth trend. She gained recognition from her participation in the 1982 exhibition Kniven på hovedet (Knife on the Head) held at Tranegården in Gentofte. More recently, she has created decorative objects for churches. Several of her works up to the early 1990s achieve abstractness through large monochrome surfaces of varied strengths in which there are almost identical objects, providing the viewer with confusion as his gaze wanders around in the absence of fixed points.

In 2002, Dahlin was awarded the Tagea Brandt Travel Scholarship. Her work can be seen at Statens Museum for Kunst, the ARoS art museum in Aarhus, and the Esbjerg Art Museum.
