Vivianne Otsa
The Smålandish artist Vivianne Otsa seeks, with her pointillistic paintings, to create a balance between humor and gravity – a tribute to life which should never consist of either or, but should be allowed both.
On one side of the exhibition the artist presents paintings with a focus on flight across the seas, inspired by her own father who, as a teenager along with his family, fled Estonia in 1944. The paintings are a testimony to all the people who fled during ww2, both the ones who made it and the ones who didn’t.
On the other side the onlooker is met by Vivianne’s animal characters, often birds with a comical twist.
In these light-hearted paintings the heron has long been a central character, and as a symbol of renewal, rebirth, feminine energy, messenger of new eras and with its amusing expression, has a great influence on the artist, which she points out in the painting ‘Manhattan’; “If the Statue of Liberty had been a bird she would have been a heron.”

“There is a pronounced contrast in the artworks.
The more sincere, escape motifs, still has a hope and a bright future where one hopes to meet the boats and the people in them.
The art in the exhibition has a balance between humor and gravity.”

Berit Norrbelius Lindberg
Berit Norrbelius Lindberg’s imaginative and dreamlike ships and boats are a display in unitary motifs which, at closer look, are made up by a great number of separate components and geometrical shapes. A testimony to the artist’s mathematical background which give the paintings a depth complementing their rich colour settings.
There is always a plethora of exiting details in the motifs – many playful, which contributes to Berit’s infinite fantasy world where ‘Mighty Ships’, the sea, and its varying climates and weathers are a great source of inspiration for the artist;

“With colour panels and silhouettes I take you out to sea, through channels, and voluminous landscapes.”

Margareta Sieradzki
With her artwork Margareta Sieradzki wish, through clean and pure brushstrokes, to place the climate change issue in focus with the waters cycle as epicenter;
The water which evaporates from the oceans to fall as rain over the mountains and then flow back again out into the oceans, on its way passing man’s creations of fishermen’s cottages, sea marks and ships.
Margareta wishes with her exhibition to remind us of the water’s eternal cycle at the same time as she emphasizes our continual presence in nature, on land as well as in the world oceans;

”’I see Earth. It is so beautiful! […] People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it!’
As Jurij describes Earth’s characteristic blue halo – from a light-blue hue to a darker and deeper blue nuance – I wish to recreate his image with my simple, pure brushstrokes.”

Michael Sole
For over a decade, stormy seascapes have truly embodied Michael Sole’s ‘Involuntarylism’. An idea of involuntary mark making through the ‘puppeteering’ of paint where the artist’s involvement is purely to manipulate the paint, canvas, colours and consistencies, allowing the painting a life of its own to reach the finished result;

”I paint what gets my heart beating fast as I know I will put, intuitively, my all into it!
Windy rainy stormy days and movement in nature, strong colour contrasts in the sky and in the sea.”

Emanuele Scoppola
The inspiration behind Scoppola’s eclectic compositions goes back to the sculptor’s earliest childhood;

“In the late 60’s, when I first met fish, their physiology was too complex for my understanding. I thought their bodies were air tanks.”

For some of his sculpture, Scoppola has taken the clay-air interaction to yet another level by working them into one or multiple toned ocarinas, giving the artwork an elevated charismatic feature;

“I like making fish shaped ocarinas because fish are silent animals.
There is something paradoxical in a fish shaped source of sound, and something tender in kissing a fish.”

**Christian Poignant
**With nature as starting point and a strong connection to water, sea and coast Christian Poignant creates his artworks in the borderline between the abstract and the figurative.
The inspiration to his artworks, Poignant takes from the Swedish east coast, both from his childhood summers in the archipelago with his grandfather, as well as from long kayak excursions along with his wife;

“The titles of the paintings are taken from the daily shipping forecasts.
The memories of growing up in the archipelago of Oxelösund with a shushing grandfather pressing his ear to the radio set. The kids had to tread lightly and stay dead quiet.
I still listen to the shipping forecasts in the studio and follow the coast from south to north. It is incredibly comforting and soothing and brings memories and atmospheres to life.”
