During December, from the first advent to the fourth, Lindberg-on-Sea Art Gallery will hold a group exhibition with artworks by Swedish and International artists. Focus is on smaller artworks and ‘Art to Go’, where you as a buyer are able to take your artwork home directly.

As usual a part of the revenue is donated to different projects working for the well-being of Our World Oceans - a nice addition to a personal Christmas gift.

Michael Sole
For over a decade, stormy seascapes have truly embodied Michael Sole’s ‘Involuntaryism’. 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;

“The concept behind my paintings completely relies upon the idea of involuntary mark making. How the materials react with one another and how I go about applying them to the canvas. With this concept in mind, nature, with its natural geometry, is the perfect subject as a base to experiment from.”

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 artworks often consist of segments of shape where encounters and reflections, light, air and contrast are of great importance.
The titles are from the daily shipping forecasts which reminds the artist of his upbringing in the archipelago of Oxelösund and “a shushing grandfather pressing his ear to the radio set”;

”The summers as a child in the archipelago has probably formed my mind and imagery.
Characterized by the archipelago’s fishermen, fishing and boats, cliffs and slabs.
It rests deep in my awareness.

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.”

Margareta Sieradzki
From a background in modern dance, with Martha Grahams and Merce Cunninghams abstract styles as influence, Margareta Sieradzki has formed her artistic philosophy, where the individual details are often left standing back to enhance the pure cleanness and naturalness of a brush stroke.

This philosophy was established further through an early meeting with the Härnösand-based artist Rune Hagberg and is clearly enhanced both in Sieradzkis abstractly expressionistic art as well as in her more figurative motifs;

”Through my dance studies I was trained in pace, dimensions, directions, pitch, precision and flow.

To refine the expression, make it even simpler and to find the way to the spontaneity of the brushstrokes very own beauty has always been my way.”

Brandon Kralik
Kraliks fascination with the sea began at an early age when his grandfather in Colorado explained how the thundershowers and winter snowstorms were the result of water evaporating from the sea, blowing east over the desert meeting the cool air over the Rocky Mountains. It was through these early sessions which Kralik began to understand and appreciate the importance of the sea and interconnectedness it has on our lives.

Later in life it also made out a great source of inspiration for Kralik where his seascapes symbolize highs and lows, ebbs and tides as he brings out the contrasts between the dark stormy waters of the open ocean and the tranquil turquoise waters of paradise, bringing these remote and distant images to the viewer.

Emanuele Scoppola
What first attracted Emanuele Scoppola to ceramics was the possibility to make closed forms by using the resistance of the internal pressure of air and working with this air pressure during the shrinking phase, before opening the forms up again. A technique Scoppola denotes ‘Pneumatic shaping’ and often uses when creating many of his imaginative and playful fish sculptures which draws inspiration from some of his earliest childhood memories;

“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.
Decades later, I discovered the pleasure of modelling clay shapes using the resistance of the internal air and playing with the pressure of it during the shrinking phase.”
