Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2023, Cecilia Hillström Gallery will present new paintings by gallery artists Sigrid Sandström and Olle Norås. With intuition and a personal approach to landscape painting, Sandström and Norås share an urge to explore the boundaries of painting and its expression.

Sigrid Sandström (SE)

Sigrid Sandström is one of Scandinavia’s foremost painters. Over the past years, Sandström has been experimenting with imprinting on cotton canvas as a part of her process. She is often using the backside of the painting as the face of the work, gradually building her abstract landscape motifs in a manner where chance and control both play an important role.

Sigrid Sandström (b. 1970) is currently a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts, Helsinki. Sandström received her MFA from Yale University 2001, quickly followed by solo exhibitions in the US and Sweden. Recent exhibitions include Vandalorum, Värnamo, Västerås Art Museum, Bonniers Konsthall, Sweden; Anat Ebgi Gallery, Los Angeles; The Armory Show 2021, New York; Inman Gallery, Houston, US and Reykjavik Art Museum, Iceland.

Olle Norås (SE)

Working mainly with gouache on paper, Olle Norås creates meticulous abstract paintings drawing inspiration from nature, sacred places and spirituality. In his paintings, micro and macro worlds appear full of movement and life – like a cross-section of humus or moss in a primaeval forest. The new series of paintings is related to his successful solo show ‘Sångerna gör oss starkare’ at Cecilia Hillström Gallery in October 2022.

Olle Norås (b. 1982, Gagnef, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm. He has studied at the Royal Institute of Art (2013-2015) and holds a BFA in ironwork from HDK Valand Steneby, University of Gothenburg (2011). Selected exhibitions include Avesta Art, Avesta, Galerie Anhava, Helsinki, and Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm. Norås was awarded the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation Grant in 2017. His works are included in the collections of Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Malmö Art Museum, Public Art Agency Sweden, and Turku Art Museum/Lars Göran Johnsson Collection, Finland.
