Helene Appel has a distinctive practice painting on a 1:1 scale. Appel conjures images that straddle the threshold between realism, sculpture and abstraction. She uses paints and painting techniques that allow her to closely emulate the specificities of each individual subject she paints: the materials she uses, such as oil, watercolour or encaustic, start to resemble the object itself, giving the painted object a physical and three-dimensional presence.
Leonie Terschüren creates predominantly large-scale and colour-intensive works on paper and fabric, moving in the realm of immersive abstract painting.
Stella Oh condenses emotional states that are translated into atmospheric, momentary memory images through her large-format paintings. This results in multi-layered veil-like surfaces, sometimes glazing, transparent and light, sometimes opaque and disharmonious.
Matthias Jun Wilhelm displays both calligraphic precision and loose spontaneity through his paintings, interweaving motifs through new vocabularies and methods.
Heehyun Jeong focuses on observations of phenomena that she finds in nature, translating them using different painting and printing techniques. The beginning of her work often stems from an intensive and precise period of observation, followed by her own understanding and interpretation of nature. -

Gallery Steinslander Berliner
Matti Kallioinen: Mellanting
Stockholm
Sweden
Gallery Steinsland Berliner proudly presents Mellanting, a solo exhibition by the Swedish artist Matti Kallioinen. In Mellanting works of various mediums are presented, including painting, drawing, and sculpture, among them a type of paintings which the artist simply refers to as “puzzle paintings.” Here, Kallioinen demonstrates his ability to find new approaches to the process of image-making and its fundamental premises.
Find Out More
Perhaps the most immediately recognizable aspect of Kallioinen’s artistic practice is the expressive colours and shapes that are present regardless of the medium. The works are playful and sometimes primitive in their expression but in fact contain layers of complexity. A line in Kallioinen’s works is deceptively simple; often, it proves to be indefinable upon closer examination. The sculptural wave forms that the artist has been working on for several years in various scales and materials are based on hyperbolic geometry and are also seen in Mellanting, this time as ceiling-hanging sculptures. -

Helsinki Contemporary
Group Exhibition: Not Enough Room to Swing a Cat
Helsinki
Finland
Helsinki Contemporary’s second exhibition of the spring season, Not Enough Room to Swing a Cat, introduces three names new to our gallery: Anton Alvarez, Jussi Goman and Santeri Lehto. The trio shares a common stylistic approach: abstract minimalism – but not the nostalgic, lukewarm variety. Their brand of abstract minimalism revolves around each creator’s clever and inimitable use of curious, disarming gestures to tease out and reinvent something beautiful and special.
Not Enough Room to Swing a Cat courageously imparts its own visual narrative as part of a historical continuum. Through contrasts and clashes, the exhibition reconciles opposites in a grand, startling back-and-forth of feminine and masculine expression, deconstruction of form and its creative reconstruction, the paintings and sculptures merging in a riot of colour and dance of sweet misshapenness and misshapen sweetness.

All our lives we sell our time and energy to be able to acquire things. Slowly but surely they accumulate until they end up hidden in a closet or storage, and lose their purpose. And so our homes are inflated, inflated by things that follow us, or maybe have always been there, sometimes it's hard to remember where it all came from. In the end, it inevitably comes to the point that we can no longer have space for all that has accumulated. Then, of course, it's time to get a bigger house and work more, earn more, expand more Expand, in order to transport closed boxes from one darkened storage room to another. And when the day and night of life have come, our children will have the fate to go through our cabinets, drawers and cupboards and choose which legacies they want to continue to grow with between their homes. -

Anna Strand: The Assignment
Göteborg
Sweden
Galleri Cora Hillebrand is pleased to introduce Anna Strand's exhibition 'The Assignment'. The Assignment is based on twelve recovered analogue 35mm films. Eight photographs and a contact sheet have been selected. These are interspersed with short texts. Among other things, they say that an aspiring photographer has been given the assignment of photographing a stranger. In the present tense of the text, the narrator reflects on why she censored the last film then, twenty-three years ago. And why she has chosen to make a contact sheet of it now.

Andersen's Contemporary is pleased to present ’We Watchin’, a solo exhibition by Farshad Farzankia. Farzhad Farzankia paints symbols of both personal and political significance, ancient Persian symbols such as tulips, roses, birds, and human figures, the signs are many but precise, rendered in bold colors and expressive strokes.

Many of the signs and symbols that appear in the paintings, represents in many ways the complex reality we find ourselves in, namely a reality that points in many directions and possibilities with many solutions, solutions that can come with an understanding and acceptance of the complexity of the other, and the differences between us. In some way the exhibition tries to connect these questions and differences in one common room, in the spirit of hope.Photos by Malle Madsen

Martin Asbæk Gallery
Helen Sear: Natural Fantastic
Copenhagen
Denmark
Martin Asbæk Gallery is proud to present Natural Fantastic, British visual artist Helen Sear’s second solo exhibition at the gallery. From the unfurling of the first bracken leaves on the forest floor to the falling of a giant pine Sear reanimates processes of growth and decay through multiple exposures and layers incorporating close observation and a performative approach to the act of image making.
Find Out More
For the exhibition Sear has put aside the single point perspective associated with the camera lens using a domestic scanner as a recording device. Sear is drawn to the photographic medium’s inherent relationship with the index and, through recording and re-processing elements in the landscape, seeks to create a balance of existence between us and our natural surroundings. Growing up in the countryside she learned about the diversity of plants and animals that inhabited her local environment and continues to draw on these early experiences. In a way, Sear’s work mimics the way in which we revisit places around us – often unconsciously, by passing the same tree or shrubberies daily. At other times, we can mindfully observe the changing of seasons, evoking new feelings within. -

Gether Contemporary
Hyperweirdkids - Laura Klünter & Mario Mertgen: Fading Bliss
Copenhagen
Denmark
Gether Contemporary is proud to present Hyperweirdkids' (DE) first solo show with the gallery. Hyperwierdkids is a duo formed by Laura Klünter and Mario Mertgen, who have been working together for the past four years to create a collaborative contemporary visual language that attempts to contextualize historical sign systems in digitized popular culture. Their debut solo show in Denmark, Fading Bliss, presents impressive and unexpected environments that seamlessly blend historical time with the virtual and contemporary realm, asking questions about what will happen when the construct of historical bliss gradually fades. Are we to be left behind as tourists on nostalgic revisits, or is history given a chance to reinvent itself and the way we perceive it?

In a remix of techniques, Hyperweirdkids appropriates and translates forms, styles, and spaces across and beyond time. Through the lens of digital tools, Hyperweirdkids weaves a tapestry of reinterpretations that breathe new life into historical elements - whether canonical motifs like the ancient vase or the idealized male torso - or depiction strategies like baroque or impressionist strokes for depicting fruits - by infusing them with contemporary aesthetics like pixels, graphical forms, naïve strokes, airbrush realisms, and abstract figuration. The young duo’s eclectic and anachronistic painterly approach shows an obvious mastery of depiction techniques and appropriation of iconic styles. This abundance of variety poses the spectator to overcome the basic question of whether the works are skillfully painted and instead points beyond that to the very nature of imagery itself. Hyperweirdkids further highlight this by introducing various viewpoints and canvas intentionally left blank. -

Jytte Rex: My Tender Wife
Copenhagen
Denmark
In the solo exhibition “My Tender Wife”, we show a selection of Jytte Rex’s photo prints on aluminum plates. The works are reminiscent of internal images on the retina - images that almost rub off on each other and dissolve like distant memories. They are composed like a collage, some gentle and others hard and straight forward. The themes of the works revolve around feminine desire, currents, dreams and myths, and everything women talk about.

Jytte Rex (b. 1942) is a Danish visual artist and film director. Rex has a unique position in Danish film, literature, and art history. Her works are avant-garde and poetic with stories often carried by a feminist commitment. In 1998, Rex was awarded the Eckersbergs Medal and the same year the Danish Arts Foundation’s lifetime honor. She received the Skovgaard Medal in 2004 and the Thorvaldsen Medal in 2005. Her works are represented in the collections of the SMK - The National Gallery of Denmark, Aros, KUNSTEN, Ny Carlsbergfondet, Vejle Art Museum, Art Museum Brandts, the National Photography Museum, etc. -

palace enterprise
Kirsten Ortwed: Presents
Copenhagen
Denmark
palace enterprise is proud to present the solo exhibition Kirsten Ortwed Presents.
Kirsten Ortwed work is characterized by a sort of artistic research exploring what sculpture fundamentally is and can be. She works with a wide range of materials, from traditional material such as bronze, onyx and ceramics to the far more unconventional ones, e.g. beeswax, polyurethane, and aluminium. The combination and relationship between form and material is essential to Ortwed's artistic practice, just as she examines the relationship between form and space, with special attention to process and transformation. Through decades she has been working with the concept of 'negative form', the form around the form, where she makes what is absent from the center, the work itself.

Uwe Henneken: Integrity Studies: Painting in a World Unhinged
Copenhagen
Denmark
Gether Contemporary is thrilled to present Uwe Henneken's (DE) first ever solo exhibition with the gallery. Henneken's dynamic and ever evolving practice takes center stage in Integrity Studies: Painting in a World Unhinged, where dream-like scenes serve as a captivating exploration of introspection and extrospection, encapsulating the surreal essence of the modern world.
The exhibition delves deep into the concept of integrity, transcending its role as a personal virtue to become a potent force for healing and wholeness. Henneken draws parallels between integrity and integration, underscoring an ongoing journey that demands daily navigation and the dialogue within every work weaves a continuous thread between control and letting go.

Andrehn-Schiptjenko
Xavier Veilhan: Crop Top
Stockholm
Sweden
Andrehn-Schiptjenko is pleased to present Crop Top, a new exhibition by Xavier Veilhan. In Crop Top, the organic and the digital converge, as do images and volumes. Starting from his series of "blurred" 3D scanned portraits, Veilhan wanted to abstract these works further as well as use materials that correspond with his newfound environmental focus. The material used in this exhibition is essentially raw wood: a renewable material that has been transformed. Most of the wood comes from the region of Sologne, where it is milled directly. Crop Top is also Veilhan’s first opportunity to experiment with a way of conceiving exhibitions that can travel by sea and the majority of the presented works have been brought to Stockholm by sailboat. This environmental and artistic project will develop through exhibitions and collaborations over several years and journeys, including transatlantic ones. The sea freight and the exhibition itself are two parts of a project which fuse as the reality of renting a sailboat, living on it and transporting artworks, meets the reality of the finished exhibition.

Ea Vasko: Reflecting Spatiality
Berlin
Germany
Ea Vasko can easily be called one of the most innovative artists from the Helsinki School. She has been working abstractly since the beginning of her artistic career, with her work taking an outstanding position within the Finnish art scene of the early 2000s. Even now, Vasko remains one of the few artists from this platform that continues to operate outside of figurative art. Staying true to her initial ideas, her work questions the basic principles of photography from the act of seeing to the objectivity of an image. Furthermore, she interrogates the different mechanisms of human perception, such as valuation or categorization. Vasko’s interests lie in an urban environments ability to fluidly move and change over the course of time. She utilizes reflections as a method of testing the limits of abstraction, sometimes driving her initially figurative subjects to a point beyond recognition. The exhibition will present a selected group of works, all which deconstruct various aspects of architecture and spaciality, and investigate further into our relationship towards urban space and space that is not perceived at all.

Through a ritualistic, semi-complex process based on repetition and the use of large amounts of watercolour, paper, and paint, what appears to be an infinite amount of time emerges in Andreas Johnen’s work.

Galleri Specta
Group Exhibition: She Suffers So Much More
Copenhagen
Denmark
SPECTA’s new exhibition borrows its title She Suffers So Much More from the fairytale The Little Mermaid by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen from 1837. A number of themes are embedded in the fairytale and this is the gallery’s first exhibition of more to come with a basis in The Little Mermaid. The works presented deal with bodily manifestations of modification, transformation and of being in between different states. This exhibition features works by Thordis Adalsteinsdottir, Frances Goodman, and Martha Hviid.
The original fairytale about The Little Mermaid is very unlike today’s Disney versions... In the original story, the mermaid doesn’t get her prince in the end, and she is forced to make choices, sacrifice and to define and re-define her position. The physical body of the mermaid is the obvious symbol of a complex set of choices, desires and struggles which are fundamental to many of us.

Kasper Nordenström: Spegeldansen — Mirror Dance
Stockholm
Sweden
Kasper Nordenström exhibition Spegeldansen — Mirror Dance presents a suite of new works, painting, and sculpture. In almost tandem with an ode to the Arte Povera movement, the artist has created a visual language that engages a minimal, stripped down but expressive world, where raw canvas meets the lack of color, metal structures end up occupying a cold environment, bees wax is formed and molded into new shapes, and where time is illustrated with mirrors painted with linseed oil — a process that can take several months, at times up to a year. With a clear influence of artists such as Donald Judd, Nordenström plays with expectations, both his own and the viewers, occupying all our senses in his exploration of new methods of meeting material, their meaning and thereby creating new context.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson
Mamma Andersson: After Hill
Stockholm
Sweden
Galleri Magnus Karlsson is delighted to present Mamma Andersson's seventh solo exhibition at the gallery, After Hill. It is a continuation – and conclusion – of the exhibition tour About Hill that she did together with the artist Tal R at the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, Denmark, Malmö Konstmuseum, Sweden and Museum MORE in Gorssel, the Netherlands. In After Hill, Mamma Andersson has made a curated selection of her paintings from the museum exhibition, which are presented together with new works. It is her first solo exhibition in Stockholm and Sweden since 2012.
In the exhibition About Hill, Mamma Andersson and Tal R took their starting point in the works of Swedish artist C.F. Hill (1849-1911). Hill's artistry functioned as a catalyst for their works, and they were presented in dialogue with a large selection of his later drawings. In the exhibition catalogue's interview between the artists and Stephanie Cristello, Mamma Andersson describes her relationship with Hill's work. In the new exhibition, Mamma Andersson's paintings are lifted out of context and allowed to write their own story. Hill is still there as a conversational partner in the background, but we can approach Andersson's personal, and in some cases self-revealing, imagery in depth.
Find Out More
Mamma Andersson's recent paintings are more stripped down and drastic than her earlier works. They are in the present but look back at history. In the images, sculptures, figurines, masks and objects reappear as central motifs, against more sparsely described interiors and landscapes. The paintings can be described as scenes, or still lifes, situated in a dreamlike but concrete reality. -

OSL Contemporary is pleased to present 'Wild Weeds', a solo exhibition by Vibeke Slyngstad. The continuation of a series which Vibeke Slyngstad began in 2019, the five new paintings started at the end of summer 2023 and created for this solo exhibition at OSL Contemporary in Oslo in early spring 2024 appear full of promise for the arrival of the season. Associated with new life and the emergence of many flowers and plants following the winter months, spring also inspires thoughts of softer, warmer light, setting the scene and atmosphere for this new body of work.
Entitled Wild Weeds and numbered one to five in the sequence in which they were painted, Slyngstad’s series of canvases presents close-up depictions of undergrowth from ground level, as if from the viewpoint of creatures just born into this emerging world. The sunlight is so bright that it bleaches out some of the blades of grass and occasional flowers that have reached the faint horizons. The skies are almost pure white, though a gentle yellow permeates the atmosphere. Beyond a sense of this being golden, evening light, there is no intimation of time in these serene scenes of natural beauty

Lulu Kaalund: It’s More Like an Obsession
Copenhagen
Denmark
Eighteen is pleased to present 'It’s More Like an Obsession', a solo exhibition by Lulu Kaalund. 'It’s More Like an Obsession' is a new body of work from Lulu Kaalund, consisting of twelve captivating and mind-boggling pieces ranging in size from 65 x 55 cm to 320 x 300 cm. Abstract tableaus, crafted with yarn, thread and pearls and mounted on wooden skeletons. The vivid and organic compositions actively engage the use of void, leaving space for the mind to wonder. Loopholes to other dimensions. Spaces to disappear or re-appear. The new works have an other-worldly quality to them, contemporary and ancient, as if they have always been with us in mind and now for the first time in physical form. An unspoken prehistoric language of abstraction. Portals to uncharted experiences.

With an extraordinarily well-developed sense for composition and colour work, Lulu Kaalund’s approach to crochet is rare. Working intuitively and only by hand, she often commences without a set strategy; the works emerge slowly and organically, spanning wall hung works, installations, wearable pieces and large-scale tapestries. Kaalunds’s works vibrate between sculpture and painting, intimate and finely meshed pieces as well as large and loosely composed works. Betokening stamina and patience on the verge of the manic, the largest pieces are undertakings that evolve over months of labour - material witnesses to the passage of time and to an artistic process that is at once meditative and strenuous. Gripped by an urge to create, Kaalund appears as a medium destined to deliver wild, seductive, and self-willed works to us from another plane of existence.
Bringing her projects on the go, Kaalund’s work extends beyond the studio setting; you may find her crocheting in restaurants, airports, bars, nightclubs and hotel lobbies. Like an abstract diary, the artist never plans her work in advance, they grow from a few stitches into sprawling pieces guided by little else but intuition and the will and desire to create. Stitches become rows and rows become material witnesses to places, people, moods, events, and to the passing time itself. The exhibition lends its title from a dialogue in the American high school tv series Freaks and Geeks (1999 – 2000). -

We are proud to announce 'Mastabatoom, Mastabadtomm'. With its title excerpted from one of the most famous (and ridiculous) scenes from James Joyce’s 'Finnegan’s Wake', 'Mastabatoom, Mastabadtomm' is a group show opening at NEVVEN BOLOGNA, the second of the two exhibitions inaugurating its new Italian venue. Lyrically curated, this show presents a rich and diverse collection of materials, practices, stories and traditions in a very controlled chaos, as the fall onomatopoeically described by Joyce and quoted in the title. The show includes three artists represented by NEVVEN (the Swedish Olof Marsja and Norwegians Oda Iselin Sønderland and Sigve Knutson) and three new collaborations (the Danish-Vietnamese Minh Ngọc Nguyễn and Italians Lula Broglio and Mattia Pajè). 'Mastabatoom, Mastabadtomm' wants to be a celebration and an introduction for the Bolognese public to NEVVEN, which is far from being exhaustive, yet presenting the project’s past in Sweden and its future in Bologna, as a link between Northern Europe, the ultra-contemporary international art scene, and Italy.

NEVVEN BOLOGNA is proud to present “Home as a Silhouette,” the first exhibition in Italy by Swedish artist Mikael Lo Presti. Represented by and in some of the most important Scandinavian institutions, collections and galleries, such as Astrup Fearnley Museet and STANDARD (OSLO) among others, Lo Presti presents a selection of new works which brings forward two of the series that has made him such a unique voice in North Europe: his portraiture and still life. Both these series are part of a visual language that uses objects and quasi-metaphysical portraits as symbols for personal narratives, like the oranges appearing often in his still lives, a childhood memory of his father, an Italian immigrant in Sweden. These two series intertwine in “Home as a Silhouette” and are even more linked to his relation to Italy, a country he knows both very well, yet only from afar, like the silhouettes of houses which are a recurring symbol in his new paintings on show, and an invite for reflections on migration, origins and returns.

Martina Hoogland Ivanow: With Eyes Sensitive for Green
Berlin
Germany
Dorothée Nilsson Gallery is pleased to start the new year with Martina Hoogland Ivanow’s exhibition With Eyes Sensitive for Green. Hoogland Ivanow’s exhibition consists of selected fragments and art objects from her on-going work on a feature-length documentary entitled Second Nature, which follows a group of individuals who dream of a communal existence in nature, drawing inspiration from hunters and gatherers. It serves as a contemporary documentation that illuminates our propensity for irrationality and our search for meaning in these challenging times.
Find Out More
What has become evident to Hoogland Ivanow during the film’s production is that the challenge perhaps lies not solely in Western society’s ignorance of nature in terms of practical knowledge or conveniences but rather in individualism and a lack of willingness to collaborate, as well as the unwillingness to give up certain privileges. The exhibition underscores the importance of reflecting on one another and our aspirations, where nature assumes a secondary role. This might be where the difficulty of the overall transition lies. For Hoogland Ivanow, the film serves as a mirror reflecting the paradoxes of human behavior and the disorientation that characterizes our times, conveying these complexities through an interpretation that blends humor, absurdity, and evocative imagery. -
