Galleri Arnstedt (SE)

The gallery is located in Östra Karup, a village at the Bjäre peninsula in southern part of Sweden. Established in 1998, a 400-year-old mill building was converted and extended into a gallery. The gallery is open from April to November, and its program has always been a mix of well-established Nordic artists and young emerging artists often from Malmö Art Academy. Around the gallery winds a sculpture garden that by itself is worth a visit.

Linn Fernström (SE)

Linn Fernström works subtly with enigmatic poetry. Her works are magically realistic, existing somewhere between dream and reality – here the definitions of time and place become blurred. Lush alternating meadows and flowers spread out to create a dreamlike landscape in Fernström’s new paintings. With quick brushstrokes, the paint dissolves and runs down the canvas. Creating a story, realistic depictions of human and animal forms are often found inserted into the seemingly idyllic scenes.

Linn Fernström (b. 1974, Örebro; SE) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Fernström graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm. Fernström’s work is included in collections such as the Moderna Museet (Stockholm; SE), Malmö Art Museum (Malmö; SE), Ståhl Collection (Norrköping; SE), Linköping Art Museum (Linköping; SE); and Bonniers (Stockholm; SE), as well as in several private collections. The artist’s exhibition history includes recent exhibitions at Liljevalchs (Stockholm; SE).
