Strange Are the Ways of Man
A solo exhibition by Kent Iwemyr
V1 Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition Strange Are the Ways of Man by Kent Iwemyr.
Kent Iwemyr crafts poetic, pictorial ballads. Intimate tableaus rendered with raw brushstrokes in acrylic on linen, sparse and open compositions sing songs about his local community in the small post-industrial town of Hallstahammar in rural Sweden, where he was born in 1944 and still lives and works.

Kent Iwemyr, New Masterpieces / Nya mästerverk
We are proud to present Kent Iwemyr’s seventh solo exhibition at the gallery. New Masterpieces consists of a series of acrylic paintings executed during the last year. Kent Iwemyr has, among other things, been called ”A Strange Bird in Contemporary Art” and ”A Swedish Rural Chagall”. His paintings draws content from life in the small industrial community Hallstammar in Sweden, but has been shown at galleries all over the world. Despite the down to earth storytelling, his imagery can be conceived as rare and exotic also on the home ground.
A text on Kent Iwemyr by Annika Nordin
A Love Song to the Ramshackle.
The heart of Kent Iwemyr’s pictorial world is a Place in Bergslagen. Iron mill country, covering only a few square metric miles. The tilthammer is silent now. And the melting pot is transforming. But the earth still breathes timeless memories and stories. A fizzing, multifarious brew of tradition and opposition.
Kent Iwemyr, Anna Zorina Gallery, New York, USA
Anna Zorina Gallery is pleased to announce new beginnings. The Red House in the Woods, marks the debut New York solo show of Swedish painter Kent Iwemyr. This will be the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery.

Galleri Magnus Karlsson moves to London this autumn!
After nearly 20 years at art fairs in Europe and the USA we are trying out new ways of presenting our artists internationally. During 2018 we have taken a pause from international art fairs to explore the possibilities with pop-up exhibitions.
Kent Iwemyr, V1, Copenhagen, Denmark
There is a poetic, eerie and often humorous sentiment in the work of Kent Iwemyr. In his open and sparse compositions the viewer is left lingering on the edge of understanding. The work takes its departure in Iwemyr’s local surroundings in the small Swedish town of Hallstahammer, where he was born in 1944 and still lives and works.

Kent Iwemyr, Galerie Claire Fontaine, Luxembourg
This is my second exhibition at Galerie Clairefontaine and the title for this show is “It’s not that damned easy!”. I still paint with my fast, course paint stroke and in the rough way I always have done, I’m a kind of self-willed painter and I go my own way. Most of my paintings are influenced by my neighborhood and people and places I know very well. “It’s unbelievable how many odd people there are in this place” (Amandas Ong, Elephant Magazine, 2014). It’s easy to see my paintings as “simple”, but I always do my best to load them with some kind of intrinsic value.

Kent Iwemyr, Västerås Konstmuseum, Sweden
In Kent Iwemyr’s paintings, little stories evolve. Love and dreams, but also dark treachery and shattered illusions, and those slightly hapless, lonely and eccentric people he portrays with such melancholy and a large portion of humour.

Kent Iwemyr, Värmlands museum, Karlstad, Sweden
From press release (in Swedish only):
”Navet i Kent Iwemyrs bildvärld är en Plats i Bergslagen. Järnbrukslandet, till ytan bara några kvadratmil. Stångjärnshammaren har tystnat och smältdegeln har tystnat. Men marken andas ännu tidlösa minnen och berättelser. En brusande mångbottnad brygd av tradition och opposition. Det är en liten plats för stora drömmar. Människor cirklar runt den existentiella baslinjen. Egensinnade, stolta, ofta ensamma, en aning kantstötta och tyngda. Men fortfarande på väg med drömseglet hissat, om än lite halvdant så för full vind.”
Kent Iwemyr, Galerie Jochen Hempel, Berlin, Germany
The Swedish painter Kent Iwemyr (born in 1944) primarily works in small and medium-sized formats, depicting daily life around him. In numerous scenes of everyday life, he draws on an unusual aesthetic coupled with a fine sense of irony and allusive titles.
