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.

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

SPECTA is excited to present 'Liquid Roots', the gallery's first solo exhibition by Danish artist Isabel Berglund.

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.

ISCA Gallery is delighted to present Liv Ertzeid’s second solo exhibition at the gallery titled The Late Show. This exhibition brings together a new series of large scale paintings punctuated by several smaller works, and a series of wooden sculptures which populate the space only in the hours after the gallery has closed.

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.

Saskia Neuman Gallery is thrilled to present artist Harry Anderson’s first solo gallery exhibition, The Flesh is Weak — Köttet är svagt. With his new suite of ceramic sculptures, the artist explores traditional themes, distorted by his own sensual findings and insights. The exhibition indicates a new path for the artist, where the unpredictability of the material used is instrumental in setting the course and tone, allowed to guide the artists’ expression.

The exhibition is made up of new paintings, drawings and embroidery. Works that deal with cabbage, the cabbage moth, painting, the experience of the world and the production of meaning. Enchanted is the eye.

Persons Projects is proud to present a selection of paintings and drawings from Paweł Książek’s latest series Movement dedicated to the development of experimental dance in the Weimar Republic.

Þula is excited to present a solo exhibition by Kristin Morthens

The artist’s own life and the artworld merge in Rauha Mäkilä’s solo exhibition, TARA, which concludes Helsinki Contemporary’s spring season. Mäkilä’s recent paintings speak about humanity, being an artist and being together. She takes the themes of her works from her own world of experience and living environment, showing how things that are near at hand and mundane have value and are worth painting.

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.

LOYAL is excited to present a solo show WHAT WAS SAVED FROM THE FIRE by Tania Marmolejo.
