FABIAN EDELSTAM
Fabian Edelstam was born in Stockholm, Sweden 1965.
Since 1990 he has lived and worked in Paris. After graduating he continued his studies with Bachelor’s Degree at Beckmans School of Design and Fashion (1986 – 89) in Stockholm and then at the art school Acadèmie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris (1990 – 91).
“Edelstam is splitting the image and reconstructing it. He is a premodernist and a postmodernist. His sense for the image goes back far into the past, as does his pedigree. It is from these pictures his art creates a a sense of authenticity, his portraits become real, his faces become human”
“In my portraits I try to recreate a bridge between past and present cultures, set in modern framework according to the principles of ancient mosaics (...) Some pieces are missing, others are in disorder, just like the fragments of a childhood memory that is being reconstructed, or should I say, exercised?”
THOMAS MULLER
Thomas Müller has focused almost exclusively on drawing from the mid-1990s, demonstrating the breadth of creative possibilities within the medium through his wide-ranging compositions. Working with pencil, ink, ballpoint pen, crayon, and paint on paper, he makes abstract drawings that vary from spare to maximalist.
In some of his largest compositions, he uses only a ballpoint pen, working line- by-line to build up forms that sweep across the page and resemble the undulating, striated surfaces of rock formations.
By contrast, some of his smaller works feature only a handful of marks, which float delicately in the center of an otherwise blank page. Describing his practice, Müller has said, “Attraction and repulsion, breathing in and breathing out, vigor and laxity are the poles between which my work oscillates. . . . My work generates its energy and vitality precisely from these polarities and tensions.”
LARS TUNEBO
Lars Tunebo was born in 1962 in Lysekil, Sweden and now lives and works in Gothenburg.
He is a self-taught artist working with techniques and materials including bronze, glass, painting and photography/mixed media.His works is shown in Los Angeles, Monaco, London, Moscow, Dubai, Copenhagen, Brussels, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Marbella and is shown in both public and private collections.He is mostly known for his photo- montages of animals in unusual situations including elephants on tightropes in New York City and balancing on their heads in London.
Images are worked with different effects and filters in multiple layers and then hand-finished with clear transparent colours and individual effects. Tunebo’s sense of humour, wittiness and imagination allow him to create images that constantly surprise and amaze and give laughter and joy.
