Maria Wæhrens | Etchings, Monoprints & Monotypes

Posted 07.02.24

Maria Wæhrens’ artistic impulse stems from those layers of consciousness that elude language and are difficult to grasp through the means of figurative art. Wæhrens draws from sources that go beyond what is intellectually comprehensible – the body, emotions, and the subconscious – and transfers them into permanent physical manifestations.

Andreas Eriksson | Skimmer

Posted 05.12.23

Like 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.
