    Carl Kostyál

    Lamar Petersson and James Ulmer: THIS IS THE WAY

    Stockholm

    Sweden

    Carl Kostyál is delighted to present a dual exhibition of American painters Lamar Petersson and James Ulmer. Admirers of one another’s practice, the two artists have unique approaches to image making but converge in their play with a pared-down, quasi abstract approach to the figure in painting, born of a deep engagement with contemporary media, both pre and post the digital era.

    Viktor Kopp and Marcus Matt

    Stockholm

    Sweden

    Cecilia Hillström Gallery is pleased to introduce a duo exhibition with two artists not previously shown at the gallery, Viktor Kopp and Marcus Matt.
    As painters, Kopp and Matt are united in their exploration of painting as both a site and an object. In the exhibition, Matt’s small-scale paintings work as a backbone, creating a rhythm in the space. Kopp’s works, being at times unconventional in shape, are expanding the exhibition as interventions in the gallery space

    Gether Contemporary

    Jay Gard: Sculpture-Scribbles

    Copenhagen

    Denmark

    Jay Gard constructs works of art whose visual language combines aesthetics and rationality. His expression is dominated by strict geometric shapes and constructivist elements, which in this solo presentation are translated into so-called ‘scribbles’. Here, Gard translates concrete historical, architectural and sculptural elements from architecture into more fabulous and painterly mappings that can evoke associations with more surreal dreamscapes.

    Stockholm

    Sweden

    The exhibition is the first presentation in the gallery's project space. Objekta comprises of a series of 15 intricate small metal sculptures and three mobiles, ranging in a monochromatic color scheme, which harks back to the hues employed by architects Le Corbusier, Jean Prouvé and Pierre Jeanneret. Abrahamsson’s delicate miniatures remind us of studies into the world of artists such as Alexander Calder and Piet Mondrian while keeping a distinct distance from concepts of modernism within context of visual art.

    Marike Schuurman: Toxic

    Berlin

    Germany

    The work of Marike Schuurman explores the ambiguity of human-made spaces and landscapes, as well as of the media of photography in which she works. While Schuurman’s approach can be described as documentary – her subjects are usually bound to a certain location, often as curious phenomenons of this site-specific reality – the final images leave the realm of the documentary, moving towards a conceptual and sensory contemplation on what we see when we look at a photograph and what was there to begin with.
