TAKING A BREAK OUTSIDEArtist and illustrator Stine Maria Aalykke is fascinated by the suction in the stomach that a break in nature can create. Everyone, everywhere seems to be busy. When and how do we take a break from what is happening around us - physically and mentally, socially and personally, online as well as offline? In her new series of “Taking a Break Outside”, Stine Maria Aalykke immortalizes an immersion and an essential presence in nature, by depicting a simple moment, a person, an emotion. It can be the sound of the sea’s uniform breath, the silence of winter in cotton wool, the scent of a flower or the abundance of the forest.

,, With the desire to be allowed to be more in the now, I explore with this series of portraits the sensuous  and the calm feeling. Surrounded by a hectic pace, high expectations and constant changes, I portray the contrast to the world today - to stop, to breathe and just be. That is what nature gives us. ” - Stine Maria Aalykke

CAN CERAMICS
Stine has led the Can universe into a new series of handheld ceramics that speak directly into the hunger of the times for beautiful colors and quirky motifs. It is a limited edition collection with everything from cups with two handles, large jars and the popular Hand / Paw now as a dish. The collection is created in collaboration with Stine’s mother Kate Aalykke in the true Can Family spirit.

INK & COLLAGE SERIES by Martin Aalykke
In addition to constantly expanding the repertoire of records in Can Family, the Covid-19 crisis has given artist, dj og record curator Martin Aalykke Kristiansen a natural break to create a large collection of beautiful ink drawings and collages.

The two Copenhagen based artists Stine Maria Aalykke and Martin Aalykke Kristiansen have for more than 15 years run the well-known family business Can Family a record store and gallery on a characteristic corner on Tullinsgade 5 a side street to the famous Værnedamsvej. Together with their daughters, they have created a recognizable, fun and unpretentious universe with color and shape, and music.
