Art Escape Events

We have always celebrated International Women's Day.
This year we will be doing so in collaboration with MDS Studio & Gallery .

As International Women’s Day approaches, I am proud to present 'Things That Men Have Said to Me Instead of Hello' by artist Eli Trier (aka Zuzu) .

This body of work began with screenshots, messages sent to Eli during a period of online dating in her mid-thirties. They are graphic, entitled and simply put- creepy.
Openers, actually, that were never greetings at all.

Years later, those saved fragments became this collection.
The intention is not to demonize men or position women as saints. It is to open the floor to something far more complex: the patriarchal waters we are all swimming in and the systems we perpetuate.

What strikes me most about this exhibition is not shock value. It is recognition.
When women encounter this work, there is an immediate understanding which is often followed by a story of their own.
When men encounter it, the reactions range from genuine horror to distant abstraction — to, at times, uncomfortable defensiveness and surprisingly even understanding.
That spectrum is part of the work.

This exhibition is about naming what has been normalized.
It is about how r**e culture, the male gaze, and beauty standards are not abstract theories but lived experiences.

Both Eli and I are international women. We are artists. We are entrepreneurs. We have built our work across borders, in industries and systems that were not necessarily designed with us in mind.

This exhibition and the conversations it invites, truly embodies the spirit of International Women’s Day through visibility, dialogue, accountability, and agency.
We cannot shift culture if we cannot see it clearly.

To mark International Women’s Day, we are hosting:

March 7 (13:30- 15:30- MDS Studio, Birkegade 7, 2200)– A participatory mixed media and painting workshop inviting you to create artwork in response to your own experiences.

March 8 (2:30–5:00 PM) – A live Q&A conversation with Eli Trier (location TBA)

Details and registration links are below.

We look forward to welcoming you into this conversation.

Sign up here for the workshop on March 7th ➡️

Things Men Have Said to Me Instead Of Hello is showing until March 8th at MDS Studio & Gallery

And we are back! ✨
Art Escape Events is officially back full-time — bringing corporate creativity, painting, art, and all the magic under the stars straight to your teams. 🎨🌟

Tonight we had the absolute pleasure of hosting .dk for a Mystery Painting Event — an experience designed and invented exclusively by us. Each participant received an unknown, abstracted image… just a tiny piece of a much larger picture. Through communication, collaboration, trust, and a whole lot of creativity, the team painted their individual pieces and connected them together to reveal one collective masterpiece. 🧩❤️

What an incredible night, and what a way to wrap up 2025 with an amazing group of people.

We’re thrilled to announce that 2026 is officially open for bookings, and we’re bringing you brand-new, innovative creative events unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Our signature Mystery Painting experience — born right here at ArtEscape Studios — is a crowd favourite. If you’d like to bring it to your organization, just send us a DM!


Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄✨
Here’s to a colourful and creative year ahead. 💫

Another wonderful afternoon at Art Escape Studios, diving into the magic of color theory for portraits! Watching everyone learn and be fascinated by colour is truly inspiring. Great questions today leading to some in depth learning and colour research. Thank you for making the studio such a special place to learn and grow!
If you wanna learn about colour- keep your eyes open for The Paint Shack coming in May.

Happy students!

“Have you ever wondered how to capture the unique tones and textures of a face on canvas? On January 25th, we’ll explore into the art of portraiture, exploring how color theory can bring portraits to life—no matter the skin tone.

This workshop is about more than just technique; it’s about discovering how light, shadow, and subtle hues tell a story. From the warmth of a smile to the depth of a gaze, we’ll uncover how to create portraits that feel alive.

Whether you’re new to oil painting or looking to sharpen your skills, this day is for you. Together, we’ll spend a creative afternoon learning, painting, and connecting with fellow artists.

📅 Date: January 25th
⏰ Time: 11:00 - 16:30

Limited spots available, so don’t wait—reserve your space today. Let’s create something beautiful together!”

An announcement from our owner and director:

To all the wonderful creatives that have been the pulse of our incredible creative heart,
Thank you. ❤️

Since 2019, Art Escape Studios has been more than just a space—it’s been a community, a sanctuary, and a hub for creativity, a home away from home. Over the years, so many of you have poured your time, talent, and trust into this journey, and I will forever be grateful for the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to work with and learn from.
But as life often reminds us, growth requires change. And so, with a mixture of sadness and excitement, I’m announcing that Art Escape Studios will be closing its physical space.

This decision wasn’t easy, but it’s a step toward a new direction that I’m deeply passionate about.

Art Escape isn’t disappearing—it’s evolving.

While our studio doors may close, our programs are only expanding. We’re pivoting toward a new platform that brings art into corporate spaces, nurturing inclusivity and changing mindset and corporate culture through creativity.
My mission is to show how art can transform workplace culture, spark collaboration, and open minds to new possibilities.

To every student, artist, collaborator, employee and supporter—you’ve been the heart of this journey. Thank you for trusting me, sharing your creativity, and being part of this beautiful chapter.

I can’t wait to see where this next path leads and how art will continue to inspire us all.
Stay connected—this is just the beginning of a new story.

If you wanna keep painting- The Paint Shack is coming in May 2025!

🌟 Huge thanks to our amazing students for the wonderful work today! 🌟

It was such a joy to see everyone dive into the magic of coffee, active charcoal, and watercolors. Watching each of you bring unique energy and creativity to this mix was truly inspiring. You all did an incredible job, and we are so proud of the beautiful pieces that came to life in the studio today! 🎨✨

Looking forward to seeing where this creative journey takes us next. Thank you for being such a talented and inspiring group! 💛
