Gavin Gleeson (US)
Gleeson describes painting as a means of developing visual chronologies, where personal memories and contemporary realities merge to form a hybridized worldview. The materials and compositional choices he employs lend each work a distinct meaning and message. Recurring references to his upbringing in Kentucky and his familial ties to Ireland are central to his work, as he continues to explore themes of fear, safety, and scale. His visual language and artistic practice resonate with the sensibilities of artists such as Markus Lüpertz, Prunella Clough, Norbert Schwontkowski, Walter Swennen, and David Brown Milne - all sharing a commitment to material experimentation, abstraction, and a poetic engagement with everyday subjects.
Gavin Gleeson (b.1995) is an American artist born in Iowa to Irish parents and raised in Kentucky, United States. He is based in London and holds an MA from the Royal College of Art (2024). Drawing deeply from his personal experiences shaped by his American upbringing and Irish roots, his artistic practice explores serious and often intimate themes derived from lived experience. This presentation marks his debut with Saskia Neuman Gallery and his first in Scandinavia, followed by a solo exhibition at the gallery in October 2025.

Jonas Nobel (SE)
Jonas Nobel is a Stockholm-based artist renowned for his multifaceted practice. Nobel’s artistic practice transcends conventional narrative structures, presenting objects that act as open-ended symbols, whose meaning is not imposed but rather activated by the viewer’s own cognitive and cultural context. Nobel’s sculptures facilitate a critical dialogue, allowing for a nuanced exploration of the intersections between personal perception, collective memory, art history and the socio-political forces that shape our reality. By eschewing direct commentary, his art invites introspection and reflection.
Jonas Nobel, (b.1970, Uppsala, SE) lives and works in Stockholm. Co-founder of Uglycute with notable projects as the permanent installation Concerning the Geological History of Haninge in 2016 and Utopia Station at the 2003 Venice Biennale. His most recent solo exhibition was presented at the Stockholm Art Academy in Spring 2025, as well as a group exhibition at the renowned museum Thielska Galleriet, Stockholm. Nobel’s works are part of the collections of Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Nationalmuseum, Stockholm; Magasin III Museum for Contemporary Art, Stockholm; Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana; Martin Z Margulies, Florida and Mario Testino, London, among others.

Gina Hejdebäck (SE)
Hejdebäck’s practice spans drawing and painting. Her process of building layers of paint and paper, is creating a form of collage, where her works function as both singular entities and components of a larger, continuous collage. Her visual language serves as a means of conveying the complex atmospheres that arise between people and emotion. Her work is an ongoing scene from a film, without a definitive beginning or end.
Gina Hejdebäck, (b. 1999, Stockholm; SE) is currently based in Malmö. She graduated from the Bergen Academy of Art and Design and the Glasgow Academy of Fine Art in 2024. Her first ever solo exhibition is presented in the Spring of 2025 at Saskia Neuman Gallery, with a suite of new works in the gallery’s souterrain project space, further establishing her distinctive approach.
