V1 Gallery presents
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.
From press release (In Swedish only):
Jeff Olsson, född i Kristinehamn 1981, har berättat att han har tecknat så länge han kan minnas. I tonåren valde han bort ishockeyn i Kristinehamn för tecknandet, och han fick av sin bildlärare veta att det fanns konstutbildningar att söka. Via estetiska programmet med bildinriktning på gymnasiet, konstskola på Kyrkerud hemma i Värmland och sedan konsthögskolan Valand i Göteborg växte bildvärlden fram.
I vårutställningen 2021 vill Kristinehamns konstmuseum visa Jeff Olssons värld där naturen är influerad av myter och fabler.
