ABOUT the artists
LOVE LUNDELL
Love Lundell’s collaged paintings unfold in their own world. Dreamlike, mystical, and surreal, yet also anchored in the every day, his evocative scenes draw the viewer in and hold them back simultaneously. Employing a collage technique, Lundell paints his intriguing wonderlands by sampling images from various sources and recontextualizing them to suggest a hallucinatory inner reality. He draws on his childhood memories, dreams, books, and popular culture for inspiration.
ANNA PAJAK
In Anna Pajak’s oil paintings the motives appear as visual enigmas. Her careful selection of colors and precise compositions are executed in a harmony derived from sacred geometry. With an intuitive process the work develops organically, every new element is a proposition that determines the final result. She connects and infuse natural and abstracted forms with evocative visual and spiritual qualities. Investigating what can be seen as feminine in painting, Pajak draws inspiration from modernist masters such as Georgia O’Keeffe and Hilma af Klint.
NATHALIA EDENMONT
Nature is a starting point for Edenmont, both as inspiration and a source for working materials. Butterflies, insects, and cut flowers play key roles in her seductively beautiful pictures. Appearance is a collage of meticulously glued butterfly wings that Edenmont has immortalized with an analog large-format camera and then enlarged. By mirroring this photo in two identical copies facing each other, Edenmont creates references to the butterfly’s anatomy – a new abstract creature has emerged.
YLVA CEDER
In the series Ängder, painter Ylva Ceder has chosen a new experimental way to work. The qualities of the birch wood she paints on has been the starting point for an intuitive process. She has replaced the brush with a gas torch burner, creating a landscape with fire itself. In Ängder the viewer is transferred to a landscape where the heat is rising from the ground and the smell of charred trees is palpable. The brutal force of the fire has passed and it’s calm and still. The earth is preparing to give new life.
DINA ISÆUS-BERLIN
For Dina Isæus-Berlin, the moment of creation is crucial. She is investigating the act of painting itself – an act coming from a hand of an unoccupied mind, free from the predefined conceptions of rational thought. In her abstract compositions, the large gesture of the brushstroke appears as a figure often superimposed onto detailed, patterned grounds. The stricter fields, made in a different pace and state than the fast gestures, is juxtaposed against the flowing movements to either challenge, highlight or support them. The combination of intuitive and planned layers is a vibrant rhythm visible in the final painting, where each individual gesture works as a proposition she repeatedly responds to.

ABOUT the gallery
Wetterling Gallery is one of the leading galleries for contemporary art in Scandinavia, with a dynamic program of both highly internationally acclaimed artists, and young upcoming artists from Sweden. With a unique and playful entrance to the art world, Wetterling Gallery stands for quality and relevance in the present. We make art available for a curious audience.
Founded in 1978, we consider ourselves a long-term partner for our artists, collectors, institutions and the general public that plays a significant role for the development of the both the local and the international art scene. With a history of bringing international artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist and Frank Stella to Sweden we are today also presenting Swedish artists to the international art scene. Our vision is to provide a platform for dialogue and meetings between different forms of artistic expression, and between people.
The gallery arranges six exhibitions annually in the main space in Stockholm, and around the same number in the project space that was inaugurated in 2015, allowing the gallery program to be more dynamic. Wetterling Gallery also have a showroom in Gothenburg, where a curated selection of our collections is shown on regular basis.
