We are delighted to invite you for the opening of Liva Isakson Lundin’s exhibition “Klockfjäder / Mainspring”, Thursday 7 May, 5-7pm at Wetterling Gallery in Kungsträdgården.
The point of departure is the mainspring—an internal, wound mechanism whose generative force is held in reserve, stored as potential motion. In the exhibition, this tension takes form in sculpture, where plaster and aluminum interact in a precise interplay of pressure, imprint, and yield.
Folded and pressed sheets of aluminum, partially cast in hand-applied plaster, emerge as bodies in varying states of closure and openness—as if movement had been arrested at the moment of its own implosion. The material properties, from the malleability of aluminum to the absorbent surface of plaster, bear traces of a physical handling in which each touch becomes visible.
A number of paintings on plaster establish a parallel dialogue with the sculptures.
The works appear as vessels of restrained energy—a force that is not released, yet continues to act from within.
