Konstrakan 2017

Turns out there’s an old student of mine living close by! Zacheriah Kramer invited me to join him at Konstrakan 2017 – On Saturday, August 26, local artists will be exhibiting their work outdoors along the main road here in our small city of Tranås. Zach and I are going to maybe paint each other’s portraits right there in the midst of everything. Crazy. By now I’m unsure as to where the brushy sticks go and on which side of the canvas I sit – brown or white? I hardly remember this activity “painting”.
Obviously not one of you will be able to come, but what kind of friend would I be if I only invited those I thought could/would make it?
Anyway, it should be fun! Zach’s got this serious and archaic look, in a good way. Pale white Christ. Think of that film with Mads Mikkelsen – Valhalla Rising, that’s Zach. Hope I get to give this a shot and I’ll try to take some photos regardless of where we end up on the success/failure chart.

6ft5 – Göran Arvidson

If you’re in Stockholm and you want to have your work photographed you turn to Göran Arvidson, an all-round professional and a real nice person. I highly recommend him.

Stockholm’s Emerging Realist Generation

I’ll be participating with three paintings in the group exhibition Stockholm’s Emerging Realist Generation. Opening September 29, 18:00 – 22:00, Åsögatan 148, Stockholm.
As of yet not sure how many pieces will be on show but the people tell me it’s going to be a rather small exhibit. Small and cozy.
If you want to meet me in person I’ll probably be there for a couple of hours during the opening. Give me a call to make sure. Cheers <3 <3 xoxo

“The realistic and representational art movement in the Stockholm region has grown stronger in recent years. Those involved see it as a timeless and nonironic rediscovering of the craft of painting, the respect of skill and the love of beauty within the arts. This show is a collaboration between the artschool Atelier Stockholm and the artist run gallery Art Concept Store and will give you a significant taste of what Stockholm as a city has to offer of young emerging artists in this regard. This is their first joint public appearance.”

Uppskattar om ni vill sprida detta vidare och bjuda era vänner och bekanta.

Facebookers, hemskt snällt vore om ni går in på ”eventet” DÄMONER!!!, klickar på den grå ”+ Select Guests to Invite”-rutan under bilden av Ingmar Bergman, och därefter bjuder folk ni tror skulle vilja besöka utställningen.

Det råder under utställningens öppettider kör- och parkeringsförbud i hela Gamla Stan.
