EXHIBITIONS

I wanted to share some photos from a recent pop-up exhibition I had last month with Klubb Mono at Under Bar Himmel in Spelgården, Wadköping, Örebro. It was exciting to see some work exposed in an outdoor environment and that they suited so well on the falu-red walls!

A little while ago I got contacted by a little gallery i Copenhagen called Loggia, asking if I would be interested in having an exhibition at their creative space. Their background and intentions spoke to me so this is something I didn't want to turn down of course. I also knew at this point that I would be on the road for a few months, so what better than to combine it with the travels on the way home from the south back to Sweden? 

This added a nice extra purpose for working on the road, even though I am strictly devoted to working on my art- especially when I am traveling. It somehow feels like it compensates for living the nomad lifestyle, and it proves to myself that I can work from more or less anywhere. So, I accepted the invitation and had the vernissage of the exhibition on the 5th of may! 

This was a wonderful experience and I got the change to meet new people just as wonderful on the way! During the summer you can still see 8 of my originals hanging in their space, and for the opening I also showed a series of prints that are available for sale as well. I'm very happy with the result - I especially liked how the bamboo frames turned out in their green and jungle looking space! Always fun to try something new!

If you want to visit the gallery, you can reach out to them for a viewing! And don't feel shy to, they are lovely people and it will be worth it!

The space is also used for other creative events as well as for a studio, so the prints will be exhibited temporarily. The originals however, will be hanging in the space during the entire summer. So swing by!

Wowzers! What a wonderful vernissage this Saturday. First of all I want to throw out a big thank you to all the people showing up, sharing your thoughts and minds with me and keeping a four-hour long smile on my face and warmth in my little artist heart! 

I am just so impressed with how well the gallerist matched me with my fellow exhibitor Micke Johansson, a very skilled Swedish glassblower. The way the art interacted with one another and lifted each other up was very thrilling to see. Both of our work is very colorful and playful and includes life in one way or another. So big compliments too to the gallery for putting together such an uplifting exhibition! I appreciate that in contrast to many galleries and museums the hanging was so lively - I think it turned into a beautiful 3D collage of art where you can just step in and keep finding little details for as long as you keep looking. 

I never know what to expect from exhibitions and vernissages so it's always a little nail-biting beforehand, though I had a very good feeling with this one from the start. Yet, I was positively surprised how crowded it was from the minute we opened until the minute we basically had to kindly shoo people out when the gallery had to close. I can count the minutes that I didn't have people approaching me and talking to me on probably one finger. Which genuinly made my day! Getting to take part of the thoughts and minds of the viewers about my work is really so meaningful to me, especially when people take the time to thoroughly explain how they experience my work and interpret the deeper messages and my imagination. Being inspiring in one way or another to others is just as rewarding to me so I appreciate every single thought that was shared with me this day!  

If you didn't have the opportunity to visit the exhibition yet, there is still time until the 27th of January to have a look. Galleri Nord is open on weekends from 12-16 and on Wednesdays till Fridays from 11-15. Don't miss it!

I was accepted to a group exhibition in Galleri Stenhallen and realized when seeing what pieces were supposed to be exhibited that driving my way down there would be the best option. So on the 29th of June I carefully packed my biggest painting plus two others and a mattress in the back of a van and drove my way to Öland.

Galleri Stenhallen

I've been to Öland once before and really enjoyed my time there, so I've been very excited to go back and also getting to show some of my work in Borgholm. And on top of that, by driving there it would also give me the chance to explore the island a bit more and live a simple version of vanlife for a few days is Sweden! Öland definitely is a wonderful holiday destination that I can strongly recommend. Lots of culture and history, local shops and businesses, friendly people, and I must say that despite the very Swedish appearances I often forgot that I was actually in Sweden! Most likely because of all the beaches, the warm climate and maybe the vineyards and camel farm we also crossed. With that said - take a trip to Öland! And don't forget to visit Galleri Stenhallen before the 13th of July

It was really such a pleasure being part of the opening and getting to meet so many talented artist, the gallerists putting this exhibition together and other inspiring people throughout the weekend. And a little reminder I got as well - always say yes to opportunities! 

The exhibition "JURY 22" takes place in Galleri Stenhallen, Borgholm, Öland between 1st of July until the 13th of July! The gallery is open every day between 11-16.

Time to share some pictures from the exhibition at CAC Mijas - Centro de Arte Contemporáneo, in Málaga! They put together a beautiful show with all our works. I'm really proud to be part of such an amazing team with Artishow who gave us the opportunity to show our art in Mijas, just a room away from our masters Dali and Picasso! The exhibition is up until June the 30th, so if you are in the area and need a break from the burning sun, go visit the museum! It will be worth it!

Once again I had a great opening of an exhibition! I always love vernissages cause you get to meet so many interesting people and have valuable conversations. I had a little bit of a packed schedule before going back to Laxå to hang the last few paintings. As so often before, I was running late to my train (this time not my fault!) and as I am literally running to the train I see the name 'Laxå' on the train right in front of me so without really thinking more about that I jump on the train last minute. But why is the train not moving? I have been waiting over ten minutes now! I quickly realized that I had in fact jumped on the wrong train. So, nothing else to do than calling the art hall to inform them that I'll be running late. But luckily they are just wonderful wonderful people who helped me get some of the last paintings up so I had enough time to fix the last details the last 40 minutes before the doors would open! Phew! 

But hey! I am so happy with how the exhibition turned out, and I am thankful to all the visitors who showed up to look at my work and came to talk to me and shared their interpretations and emotions. I hope it is as meaningful to them as it is to me.

Preparing all the last little details probably until the second we opened the door!

And then the exhibition was official!

We created a little extra room for kids to hang out and draw if they felt inspired from the art in the gallery. Then they can hang their drawings on those walls and create their own little exhibition!

I met my dear friend Momen some year ago when I was out in town drawing. He told me he likes to draw and paint as well and recommended my work to the people at the art hall. So it is really thanks to him that they contacted me and we made this exhibition come true! So some extra thanks to him! And obviously some extra thanks to the people at the gallery, especially Sofie, for doing such a great job and always being there when I needed them in the process!

Now both vernissages in Laxå and Saluhallen Örebro are over, but that doesn't mean the exhibitions are! Both of these will be up until the 14th of December, so there is still plenty of time to visit if desired! I am going to take a little day off to catch my breath again! 

I got the opportunity to exhibit art at Örebro Saluhallen, the local food court in the city. Considering this is not exactly a gallery, and also an area that can be crowded, I decided it would be a good idea to exhibit prints instead of the originals. Which turned out perfectly because at the exact same time I had an exhibition with all my originals in Laxå Konsthall. 

I appreciate all the feedback and kind comments I've been receiving for this little expo and I am glad I got to show my work to a new audience!

 Last month I had the opportunity to exhibit at the international contemporary art fair “Art Innsbruck 2021” as I was represented by Van Gogh Gallery in Madrid. This was a totally new experience for me that definitely taught me a lot of things along the way! This was also the first time that I had to ship paintings abroad, so the learning started from building a box – to packing it properly – to finding out how to deal with the actual shipping. Let’s just summarize that and say that the last one mentioned is something I will be doing very differently next time. Somehow a big box of almost 1x1 m and 20 kg got lost somewhere along the road in Germany. After a lot of calls and nail-biting I could finally breathe out again over a month later when receiving the confirmation that the paintings had arrived safely to the gallery! Somehow my gut was telling me that things were going to be okay despite the hassle. As they turned out to be. I am definitely grateful for this experience and next time I truly hope I will be able to be present at the fair as well, as my schedule was a little bit too packed to make it work. There seemed to be so much art to look at, I’m sure I would’ve been stuffed with inspiration and met so many amazing artists.

I was asked to participate in a winter exhibition at Galleri Nord in Örebro during January. Despite the tricky conditions and restrictions due to Covid, the expo came to be a very beautiful and succesful one and I am happy to have gotten the opportunity to exhibit together with the other talented artist from across the country! Lots of artworks found a new home, so now it's time to start creating some new ones!

Time to get my foot into the big city! This month I had my first solo exhibition in Stockholm. Hopefully more to come soon. I always love getting in touch with new exciting and inspiring people and open up new doors. I choose to show about 20 artworks, covering a wide range of my portfolio. Also just sending out a thank you to the people stopping by and sharing me great responses and inspiration! Here are a few photos from the vernissage.

I got asked by Sensus in Örebro to hang a little pop-up exhibitions at Föreningarnas hus in combination with the 100 anniversary party for popular adult education in the city. I've been having some collabs with them in different forms before so I'm excited to keep working with them! I picked out some of my smaller pieces and created a little wall of "Hav och rike"! It will be hanging for a short period of time in their office building.

After participating in the Decembersalong in Katrineholm I got in touch with the owner of a cozy gallery called Galleri 12. A couple of months later I was exhibiting my work there!

The overal theme for this exhibition was Utopia, that's also why the title came to be "Till Utopia" (To Utopia). It's up to you if it is meant as a goal or as a starter point. While the past is already definite, the future - which is quite soon - is still moldable. A historical dream is today's reality. Dreams beyond the limit of reasonableness is suddenly reachable and it is no longer about "if", but about "when". 

Or maybe, a historical reality is today's dream? Maybe Lucy was already living in a Utopia about 3.2 million years ago. Or maybe, the humanoid Sophia, just stepped into hers in 2017. Perhaps it is possible that eventually, we will live in interplay with our environment, where man is free and nature is left alone. Maybe when supernatural creatures, whom us intruders safeguard in the best case but get rid of in the worst, eventually can save us from downfall. A dream to experience something of the distant that we have yet not seen, or missed seeing with the naked eye. My Utopia might not be your Utopia. But both yours and mine is our compass. And both you and I can choose the good.
