Ann Edholm « |
|
| Ann Edholm is one of the most interesting
and important artists in Swedish contemporary art at the moment. Above
all she has become known as one of the leading painters in Sweden today
because of her more or less pure "realistic abstractions" and
her way to display visual elements in narrative sequences. Born in 1953 Ann Edholm appeared for the first time before public in 1984 in Stockholm, one year before her first solo show and two years before her graduation at The Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm in 1986, where she also was appointed professor of painting in 1992. During the years she has participated in several exhibitions both in Sweden and abroad, e.g. in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, and Romania. In Swedish contemporary art critic Ann Edholm has been linked to the discussion about the concept of the sublime. The crucial feature here is the "muteness" of painting together with both the conceptual and visual connections to art history and - for example - American abstract expressionists like Ellsworth Kelly, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman. Other sources of inspiration have been the Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, the German medieval painter Matthias Grünewald, the German Romanticist Caspar David Friedrich and the German Symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin, all blended into a highly personal visual language of today. Today Ann Edholm works as visiting professor at Valand College of Fine Arts (Göteborg University) in Gothenburg, Sweden. |
