Jockum Nordström (SE)

Swedish artist Jockum Nordström creates delicate and elegant works that include collages, watercolors, graphite drawings, and architectural sculptures. His pieces often convey an improvisational and spontaneous feel but are densely detailed, resembling storyboards frozen in time. Nordström’s work features eclectic, fantastical environments populated with characters, animals, and objects of varying scales, crafted in a style reminiscent of comic books and filmstrips.

Jockum Nordström (b. 1963, Stockholm; SE) lives and works in Stockholm. Work by the artist is represented in museum collections that include Centre Pompidou (Paris; FR), Cleveland Museum of Art (Cleveland; US); Göteborgs Konstmuseum (Gothenburg; SE); Hammer Museum (Los Angeles; US); Moderna Museet (Stockholm; SE) and The Museum of Modern Art (New York; US).

Anna Bjerger (SE)

Anna Bjerger’s paintings draw from an extensive archive of images she has collected from sources such as out-of-print books, travel brochures and vintage magazines and catalogues. In this ongoing endeavour, she is immersed in ‘rescuing images from history’. Seemingly mundane photographic moments are elevated through her careful selection and re-presentation, while the luminosity of the oil applied to the smooth aluminium surfaces upon which she paints delights the eye. The anonymity of these incongruent and haunting images—landscapes, figures, animals—is freeing, wherein the subject matter of her work becomes solely centred on painting as an emotive act, capturing and/or enhancing a subtle mood or sensuality. Critic Francesca Astesani is prompted to ask when considering the sensitivities inherent in Bjerger’s paintings, ‘How can an image be given the coolness of water, the softness of wool, the silence of a starry night?’

Swedish artist Anna Bjerger (Skallsjö, 1973) lives and works in Småland. She received her BA in Fine Art from Central St. Martins School of Art and Design, London (1997) and her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (2001). Her work is in collections including Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), Copenhagen; and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; among others.

Ivan Andersen (DK)

Ivan Andersen's artistic practice explores the inherent mutability of painting while preserving its integrity. Manipulating the medium, he unveils visual structures, merging realism and abstraction. From figuration to landscapes, his subjects vary, crafted on MDF and plywood, with textured surfaces employing mixed media. His sculptures blend painting with objects, challenging traditional formats, creating vibrant, technically adept works praised for their colour treatment. Artist Jesper Christiansen notes, "Ivan Andersen thinks in colours and with colours, allowing them to sing out clearly as a vital way to create a pictorial narrative".

Ivan Andersen (b.1969) lives and works in Copenhagen. He graduated from Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi in 2005. His work is represented in collections including: ARKEN – Museum of Modern Art, KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art, Musée National d’HIstoire et d’Art, New Carlsberg Foundation, Skive Kunstmuseum among others.
