Girls and Horses
It is actually quite annoying to work with printmaking because it constantly leads to pain in my wrists. But contrary to when I draw, it is the technique that controls me (at least part of the time), and this control results in a dialogue with the material. I believe this interaction has a nice power balance. The prints and drawings are often sewn and glued on top of each other.
We are pleased to present works of Anna Bjerger and Jockum Nordström at the 44th edition of the prestigious art fair FIAC. FIAC hosts a carefully balanced selection of leading international galleries in the iconic Grand Palais in Paris.

A review of Maria Nordin’s current solo exhibition Follow the Line in Svenska Dagbladet by Joanna Persman (in Swedish only):
Maria Nordin, ”Follow the Line”
Ett särpräglat formspråk, både sprött och bestämt
Maria Nordin är en av de främsta akvarellisterna i sin generation. Hon väljer gärna stora format och låter vatten och pigment till synes leva sitt eget liv, medan hon kontrollerar dem med en mästerlig precision.
A review of Maria Nordin’s current solo exhibition Follow the Line in Dagens Nyheter by Sebastian Johans (in Swedish only):
Suveränt målade kroppar
Slängande hår blir en cirkel. En fladdrig skjorta förstärker axlarnas rektangel. En kropp lutar sig fram över en möbel och antyder en vass nittio graders triangel. Tre andra står på alla fyra och trycker krumt sina nackar mot en kub, som om de försökte imitera formen.
A diverse group exhibition in the honour of Queen Kristina.

Nordic Contemporary's press text:
To Sink. To sink below. Something. A surface.
The exhibition is about a certain set of logic based around questions of sinking into, an unconscious action, a pull of gravity that swallows you up in a way, like Scarlett
Johansen as she walks into the dark in the film Under the Skin; towards something, away from something: An identity, a material, a past, a screen?
