Henrik Ekesiöö (SE)
Moulding memories into generic items. You could say that this is what Henrik Ekesiöö does, by revisiting a memory and studying every detail of it in his mind. Giving it a name and a physical shape, the memory in a strange way becomes an object that Ekesiöö can relate to in a more distant fashion, by transforming it to common goods. The sculptures in the series 'Weekdays' are made of bronze that Ekesiöö paints with oil colours. Ekesiöö is interested in making humour very serious, link it to history and give it the chance to survive for the future.
Henrik Ekesiöö (b. 1983) lives and works in Sweden. Exhibitions include Konstakademien Galleri Öst, Stockholm (2022); CFHILL Stockholm (2021) and Växsjö Konsthall (2020). He is represented at Gothenburg city, Västra Götalandsregionen and several private collections in Sweden.

Tomas Lundgren (SE)
Tomas Lundgren's work revolves around the image as a representation of time and memory. Using the archive as an outset for his paintings, Lundgren addresses source materials as anchor points to contemplate and examine the remnants of the past. The time consuming and diligent technique of translating and recreating found images into paintings has an echoing effect. As with memory, Lundgren's works often appear fragmented, reassembled and distorted. Fixed in the paint is both the reflection of the former images and the imprints of Lundgren's integration.
Tomas Lundgren (b. 1985) lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden. Solo exhibitions include Galleri Arnstedt, Östra Karup (2019); Galleri Thomas Wallner, Simris (2018); Beckers Art Award, Färgfabriken, Stockholm (2016) and Fredrik Roos Art Grant at Moderna Museet Malmö (2014). He is represented at Moderna Museet, Göteborgs Konstmuseum and Malmö Konstmuseum.

Fredrik Åkum (SE)
Fredrik Åkum's work can be seen as an attempt to depart from an expected and comfortable result. Most often, there are traces of figurative starting points, imprints of something that seems to have been forgotten between the constant repetitions and variations, which preceded the result. An appreciation of printing techniques and a fascination with the errors of the replicated image is central to his art, and his work with fanzines and artist books is ever-present in his paintings and sculptures.
Fredrik Åkum (b. 1987) lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden. Solo exhibitions include Beckers Art Award, Färgfabriken, Stockholm (2020); Höganäs Museum & Konsthall, Höganäs (2020); Gallery Steinsland Berliner, Stockholm (2019) and Göteborgs Konstmuseum, Gothenburg (2016). He is represented in public and private collections in Sweden, Asia, Europe and USA.
