Ann Edholm
Working in extended series Ann Edholm stages large, occasionally even monumental paintings verging on both geometric abstraction and subtle expressionism. The latter reveals itself in barely perceptible details such as small thumbprints and smear marks made by the brush or, more often, by the palette knife, thus destabilizing the seemingly solid compositional patterns of basic geometric shapes. Edholm meticulously merges classical painting with elemental geometric shapes together with sudden painterly gestures.
Ann Edholm (b. 1953, Saltsjöbaden, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm and Lid (Nyköping). She was the subject of institutional solo exhibitions at Strandverket Art Museum, Sweden (2016), Millersgarden (with Hakan Rehnberg) in Stockholm (2007), Göteborgs Konstmuseum and Uppsala Konstmuseum (both 2003).
Ann Edholm, Osipow, 2014, oil on canvas, 200 x 200 cm
The paintings should be experienced like meeting a person; navel to navel. It should be equally direct, equally physical.
