Galleri Magnus Karlsson (SE)

Magnus Karlsson founded his eponymous gallery in 1990 in Västerås. In 1997 the gallery moved to Stockholm and now has its location on the ground floor of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Over the years the gallery has worked closely with artists on a long-term basis, producing exhibitions, attending fairs and realising special projects both in Sweden and internationally.

Carl Hammoud (SE)

Carl Hammoud’s works are characterized by concentrated observation and a feverish preoccupation with details and fragments. Recurrent themes are trust in art as a language and vessel, but also distrust of the image’s authority and awareness of its transience. The paintings zoom in and out, moving among remnants and ruins of our time. In a wider perspective, Carl Hammoud’s work is also about demarcation, examining the shift between memory and fiction, as well as questioning structures that define the fragile conditions of humans and civilization.

Carl Hammoud (b. 1976, Stockholm; SE) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. He has exhibited in galleries and museums in Europe, Asia and USA. He is represented in the collections of Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Magasin III, Stockholm, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Malmö Art Museum, Eskilstuna Konstmuseum, Länsmuseet Gävleborg and the British Museum, London.
