MAMMA ANDERSSON : GOOSEBERRY

27 Apr-25 May 2013

Stephen Friedman Gallery
London W1S 3LQ

Overview

Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition of new paintings by established Swedish artist Mamma Andersson. This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery and follows highly acclaimed survey shows at Moderna Museet, Sweden; Camden Arts Centre, UK and Aspen Art Museum, USA. Born in 1962, Andersson paints from her subconscious, creating complex compositions that bring together a variety of sources including Nordic figurative painting, folk art, personal history and film imagery. Sensuous and transformative, these new paintings show the development of Andersson's recognisable painterly style, populated by ghostly figures amid dreamlike interiors and seemingly calm vistas.
