Mette Tommerup (born 1969) is a painter from Denmark, who lives and works in Miami. She is best known for creating large-scale works where she activates canvases by subjecting them to natural elements such as immersing them in ocean water, putting them in the ground, or tossing them off of buildings at a particular time of day or night. Her art is characterized by exploration, liberation, deconstruction, and immersive performance.
