Karin Seufert, Tore Svensson
The pieces in this collection feature both artist's signature materials, PVC for Seufert and Steel for Svensson.
While both artists’ practices are rooted in non-precious materials and employ geometric forms, their respective inspiration differs.
Seufert’s pieces in this group are about time and our attempts to make it tangible. “In the tear-off calendar, each page stands for a day, the date on it classifies it and the format gives it the sameness that every day has at the beginning. I chose this format for my brooches. The series started in Limoges with the porcelain ‘day-brooches’ and in parallel I worked on the PVC ‘daybrooches’...each PVC dot also talks about the intensity of the work and reflects the time that has gone into it… No day is like the other,” she reflects.
For Svensson, however, inspiration comes from the super ellipse, a shape between a square and an oval invented by the French mathematician Gabriel Lamé (1795–1890) and common in architecture and design. He was also influenced by an encounter with super ellipse-shaped tables by Swedish designer Bruno Mathsson. Besides steel, Svensson explores this shape in porcelain pieces from a joint residency at The National School of Art and Design in Limoges France, paying particular attention to the surface, which he transforms with etching, hammering, color, and paint.
Karin Seufert who is originally from Germany, studied in the Netherlands at the Schoonhoven vocational school and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Her pieces are in the Museum of Modern Art in Arnhem, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs et de la Mode in Marseilles, and the Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin, among others.
Tore Svensson is Swedish artist who graduated from Gothenburg University, School of Design and Craft and attended Västerbergs Art School, in Gävle. His work is in the collections of notable museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the National Gallery of Australia. Both Seufert and Svensson have won multiple prestigious international awards and exhibited worldwide; they are based in both Berlin and Gothenburg, Sweden.
The exhibition opening:
Saturday, June 10th.
Meet The Artists 12 – 4 pm.
Gallery opening hours:
Monday through Saturday 11 am – 5 pm or by appointment.
