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.

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.
