The permanent staff of the group has offered plenty of room for interesting guests. Worth mentioning is Ulla Kristiansen, who at long last displays her paintings in an official showroom - a collection of vivid and inspiring works in colouristic expressionism, touching upon the abstract and with a philosophical link to nature.

- Every year we look for promising newcomers as guest exhibitors, most likely from the Graphic Workshop and the Art Academy in Odense, Birte Einer-Jensen explains. This year we welcome two local artists. Ulla Kristiansen with impressive acrylic paint on canvas and Bente Sonne with decorative artistic glassmaking.

The painting at the entrance of Ulla Kristiansen-Kølster's exhibition at Søbygaard Castle is called "The light". It is characteristic for the exhibition as it in itself presents an abundance of light, to the extend that it seems fair to speak of light having come down and landed in the small individual showrooms. The place was swarming with people on the fernissage Sunday afternoon.

Far too seldom is Ulla Kristiansen-Kølster's paintings for us to see at galleries in town, but here are four small pieces of magical scenery.

Every one of Ulla Kristiansen-Kølster's paintings appear to be the result of a desperate battle. For ten years she struggled in silence with her paintings. She has now - successfully - let others into her world of images.
