"Gold has always been used to elevate something – whether in a religious, aesthetic, or economic sense. In six small castings of brushstrokes clad in gold leaf, the artist Ruth Campau has elevated the very act of image-making itself. Ruth Campau’s series takes the form of modern icons, in which a love of the image is expressed as a love of the surface and of the materiality of painting." – Helle Brøns, Curator, Sorø Art Museum.
