𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘂 (b. 1993) is a Stockholm based artist, foremost a painter, whose work often bridges over onto its surrounding architecture. Either through elaborative frames in various materials such as wood, wax, metal and plastic, or in trickery and painterly effects of framing. In her work there is always a play with the flat image and where it stops being flat. The history of it, the meaning of it, the context of it. Anjou’s paintings are painted in a wide range of styles, techniques, methods and modes.
𝗟𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻 (b. 1961) is a Swedish Choreographer/Performance Artist/ Sound Artist/Visual Artist. Her artistry has been developed in close collaboration with improvisational musicians, visual and sound artists but has come to stay primarily focused on painting and sculpture. Her works often emerges where different artistic practitioners meet; dancers, actors, musicians, singers, filmmakers and artists.
𝗚𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗳 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗶ö𝗹𝗱 (b. 1966) is established as both an artist and ceramist. His work revolves around the memories of objects and time. Sculptures and paintings that reflects an exploration of unknown places and cultures coupled with interpretations of the contemporary we live in. Ambiguous objects that are easily identified and mysterious at the same time, a work that activates memories and reminiscent of the body.
𝗦𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹 (b. 1975) is a Swedish artist merges abstract patterns with realist yet unlikely figures, personal stories with art historical references, quotes from contemporary urban culture with a studio in the woods -and a studio practice whose soundtrack of baroque harpsichords produces paintings with motifs and gestures akin to an awkwardly contemporary mannerism.
