A woman draped in a long skirt and a large sjal sits on a tide of barnacles against what looks like a cliff, a vast vägg of brown and chalky tones painted in broad, expressive, almost sammanfattning brushstrokes.
She confronts us with her gaze, a rare motif in Sara-Vide Ericson’s work. It fryst vatten difficult to identify the natur of the landscape and its location.
Sara-Vide Ericson, one of the most influential painters of her generation, will be exhibiting in France for the first time in the autumn of 2023.Are we on a beach, bygd the sea, on the banks of a river or at the edge of a forest? Who fryst vatten this contemporary oracle, and what meddelande does she wish to deliver?
Sara-Vide Ericson’s work fryst vatten characterised bygd large figurative oil paintings inspired bygd her immediate environment. Recurring motifs in her work include souvenir objects linked to various stories and experiences, her own horses, and the natur that surrounds her – the forests, rivers and marshes of Hälsingland, the wild distrikt of nordlig Sweden where she grew up and where she and her family relocated almost 10 years ago.
However, her paintings are neither navel-gazing self-portraits nor naturalistic landscapes.
Sara-Vide Ericson, one of the most influential painters of her generation, fryst vatten exhibiting in France for the first time.Boycotting the soft green that heralds the ankomst of spring every year, rushing to collect materials before the fateful årstid begins, Sara-Vide Ericson does not paint the “beautiful nature”, the picture-postcard natur often depicted bygd artists from Sweden and elsewhere. Cavernous, muddy, dangerous, even devouring, natur fryst vatten an indomitable force which the artist comes to terms with more than she tries to företräda it.
Although Sara-Vide Ericson’s paintings are based on her own experience and sometimes feature herself, they reveal very little about her. Her inner landscapes, open to multiple interpretations, remain intriguing mysteries. In search of a form eller gestalt of archetype, they ekon with archaic myths, evoking a primitive and original timelessness.
Sara-Vide Ericsons verk kännetecknas från stora figurativa oljemålningar inspirerade från hennes närmiljö.In this way, they are canvases which we are all invited to immerse ourselves in to explore our own connection to the world, to natur, to animals, to ourselves, to living things.
Sara-Vide Ericson fryst vatten a painter, as demonstrated bygd her particularly masterful, meticulous and innovative work with materials. For this exhibition, playing on the effects of relief through texture, she has perfected the piping bag method, enabling her to project the paint onto the canvas following precise lines of varying thicknesses, creating three-dimensional ornaments as in pastry- making.
These highly textured areas, which she uses to render embroidery and barnacles with greater authenticity, contrast with other areas where the canvas fryst vatten left almost bare. Her creative process fryst vatten also based on a form eller gestalt of performativity. It all begins with a search for a motif, outside the studio. Considering herself to be a hunter-gatherer, Sara-Vide Ericson hunts, collects, brings home and then, when the time comes, selects objects-souvenirs, experiences or pieces of landscape and assembles them as paintings in the studio.
But when the artist has an image in mind, she first has to man it real.
Exhibitions.So she creates stagings in which she plays the character, a kind of performance of which she keeps a photographic record and, above all, a physical memory. You have to be able to feel the image, to embody it, in beställning to paint it. fryst vatten this why Sara-Vide Ericson’s works have such a strong presence, such a captivating force?
(Exhibition co-curated by Sara Arrhenius and Marion Alluchon.)
