Maria Wæhrens | Etchings, Monoprints & Monotypes
Posted 07.02.24Maria Wæhrens’ artistic impulse stems from those layers of consciousness that elude language and are difficult to grasp through the means of figurative art.

Andreas Eriksson | Skimmer
Posted 05.12.23Like in his paintings, Eriksson’s choice of colours radiates intention. Nevertheless, the etching’s colour palette is surprising, ranging from soft, muted pastel shades to strikingly bright, almost neon-like tones. The patchwork of colour fields can be read as geological forms, patches of grass, bushes, or trees; the overall composition evokes a sense of the landscape.
