Mie Olise Kjærgaard (b. 1974 in Denmark, lives and works in Copenhagen and New York) works in painting, sculptural objects and installation. Since graduating from Central St. Martins in 2008, her work has focused on the concept of “man-made constructions” in relation to dystopian ideas. Kjærgaard is a maker; she builds, paints and explores dystopic settings through architectural constructions. Olise Kjærgaard has exhibited widely in both the United States and Europe while also exhibiting work in Mexico and Venezuela. She has held solo exhibitions at Journal Gallery, New York; Barbara Davis Gallery, Houston, Texas; Hans Alf Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark; Iris Projects (previously Samuel Freeman Gallery), Los Angeles and Y Gallery, New York.

Lonegan’s interdisciplinary background and continually evolving interests in such topics as color theory, logic structures, and literary strategies have influenced the parameters of her compositions and the serial approach to the carefully considered layers and construction of her canvases. Solo exhibitions include Galerie nächst St. Stephan Rosemarie Schwarzwälder, Vienna, Austria (2021, 2018); Susanne Vielmetter, Los Angeles, CA (2018); and ACME, Los Angeles, CA (2012; 2010).
