ABOUT the exhibition
The gallery owner Susanne Pettersson has in recent years chosen a sympathetic path where she exhibits established artists who are housed in Stockholm. It may be reminiscent of the setting at Mors Mössa in Gothenburg in its time. This time it is for a long time Skåne-based Mausel Eksell Strindberg together with Dan Backman who takes place in the rooms.
It is almost twenty years since I saw a painting by Mausel Eksell Strindberg at Galleri Krister Fahl in Stockholm. Despite all the years, her floating dark rooms with red-hot shapes get their logical followers in the collages shown in the exhibition. Sparse and well-composed images with high contrast evoke similar feelings as before.
The darkness that devours light but still does not manage to overcome this may be explained by the main issue of the current exhibition. Rows and groups of portraits line the walls. Most rest against the light bottom as inverted cones of light, a shadow play of souls. The eyes sparkle particularly pulsating towards the viewer as so many of them are familiar. The cautious joy of the face-blind is aroused before a possible recognition; the writers, poets, musicians, artists are laid out as a long poem for the memory to stumble through. You can get some help from the list behind the counter.
