Join us for an Artist Talk between Tove Mauritzson and art critic Clemens Poellinger on the exhibition's closing day.
TOVE MAURITZSON. A sense of past and present unfolds across the canvases of painter Tove Mauritzson who brings to life a diverse array of narratives framed as portraits, landscapes and still lifes. Her paintings are layered with references to the everyday rhythms of domestic life at home with family, pets, and Swedish traditions but simultaneously incorporate dreamlike atmospheres that allude to the exotic, vintage or mythological. In Mauritzson’s world, the mundane is replaced with the unexpected: dogs are allowed to stand on tables, living rooms are in disarray, and cacti, mushrooms, and seaweed thrive successfully on farmland. Mauritzson’s practice is unique amongst today’s contemporary Swedish painters; she is one of few artists that capture the simple pleasures and poetic essence of a place, people and time.
