Summary

1. Discover two of the most important contemporary artists in the Nordic region. For this exhibition they have created a series of brand new works, all related to the great Swedish artist, Carl Fredrik Hill. The Danish-Israeli artist Tal R (b. 1967) and the Swedish artist Karin Mamma Andersson (b. 1962) both helped pave the way for new 21st-century painting. Both of them have arrived at a powerful artistic expression. In their own way, each of them tackles the field of tension between figuration and abstraction, based on a shared view of drawing and painting as a personal, yet universal human need to express oneself with pencil and brush. In particular, they both draw extensive inspiration from the great masters of art history, whom Tal R and Mamma Andersson are now joining. In the exhibition Tal R & Mamma Andersson - About Hill, the two artists explore Nordic painting by basing their works on the art of the great Swedish artist, Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911), whose quivering, quasi living landscapes and mysterious worlds emanate melancholy, symbolism and a psychologically unstable artistic existence - for both good and bad. Exhibition: Kunsten, Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Denmark (14.10.2022 - 10.04.2023) / Malmö Konstmuseum, Sweden (06.05. - 01.10.2023) / Museum MORE, Gorssel, The Netherlands (12.11.2023 - 25.02.2024).
