Synopsis
The Swedish painter Karin Mamma Andersson works with dreams, fairy tales and the details of everyday life. Her passion for storytelling means that every dark maelstrom is scattered with structuring elements: a window, a television, someone looking at a painting. Her early works feature children in vast landscapes, forests, lakes and countryside that echo her own childhood in northern Sweden, (she was born in Luleå in 1962). In later pieces, this rural setting yields to the interiors of the art world--cluttered framers' workshops, libraries and elegant salons. Most recently, these rooms have opened up towards new realms, where the finely ornamented objects from Andersson's gallery scenes seem at home, dreamlike, in the wilderness, with paintings hanging from snowy mountains. Whatever her motifs, the atmosphere is always one of serenity and wonder, a moment of appreciation between finding and forgetting. Today, Andersson is one of Sweden's most internationally recognized artists, with recent solo exhibitions at David Zwirner Gallery, New York, Stephen Friedman Gallery, London, and the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh. She represented her country at the Venice Biennale in 2003, and was also featured at the 2004 Berlin Biennial and the Sydney Biennial, 2006.

Elenco delle opere esposte. Edizione in inglese e svedese . Cm 28,5x22,5. pp. 160. . Perfetto (Mint). . . . La pittrice svedese Karin Mamma Andersson lavora con i sogni, le fiabe e i dettagli della vita quotidiana. La sua passione per la narrazione fa sì che ogni vortice oscuro sia disseminato di elementi strutturanti: una finestra, una televisione, qualcuno che guarda un quadro. I suoi primi lavori presentano bambini in vasti paesaggi, foreste, laghi e campagne che riecheggiano la sua infanzia nel nord della Svezia, Luleå. Nelle opere successive, questa ambientazione rurale cede agli interni del mondo dell'arte: laboratori di corniciai ingombri, biblioteche ed eleganti saloni. Più recentemente, queste stanze si sono aperte verso nuovi regni, dove troviamo oggetti finemente decorati, oniricamente immersi nella natura selvaggia, con dipinti appesi a montagne innevate. Qualunque siano i suoi motivi, l'atmosfera è sempre di serenità e meraviglia, un momento tra il trovare e il dimenticare.Oggi Andersson è una delle artiste svedesi più riconosciute a livello internazionale, con recenti mostre personali alla David Zwirner Gallery di New York, alla Stephen Friedman Gallery di Londra e al Carnegie Museum of Art di Pittsburgh. Ha rappresentato il suo Paese alla Biennale di Venezia nel 2003 ed è stata presente anche alla Biennale di Berlino del 2004 e alla Biennale di Sydney del 2006. Book. Seller Inventory # bc_225759
