Jonathan/OLLIO… a unique person, so very easy to like!
I met him first time 2003 … hmm … a lot of time has passed, many things have happened … I havn´t seen Jonathan since 2005 (I think) Ollio is still who he was and he also looks almost straight that day. Maybe an angel lives in Jonathan … I almost think so!
I like Ollio’s language, followed his development, and it has been right, clear and strong, really well done, Ollio!!
Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – I´ ve changed some things, it was even
bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR
CENTRUM RÖDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.
titel:
“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe
“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’t´t it?
BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!
– between then and now –
THAT REALITY SHOW… THE OSBOURNS!
I needed it… why, I do not know… I very rarely look at things coming through the tv!
… at that time, when I did my life battle on different issues – Ozzy Osbourne show – was just hilarious,
a wonderful window for laffter,
empathy and presens… so, as a reaction to that very special window I summed up my impressions and
experiences in this painting that I gave the title:
“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”
earlier in the work process
The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become
humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.
I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …
… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!
I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …
COLLAGE-presentation. This work makes an important existentiell balance for me towards my painting – where I always move around in the “deep”
creating clothes gives me a wonderful surface… where there is easy to be!

sketches for dance-costume
it is a way to speak
… or not to speak… It is a global language. It is so fascinating – all different ways – from the simplest to the most complex! It is wonderful, fun and ingenious. I think that we are rather unconscious concerning the dress-perspective, in general… despite all the fashion and consuming.

This movie specifically describes my experience of Moa Israelsson´s cocoons !
MOA ISRAELSSON
“Moa Israelssons konstnärskap rör sig ofta i gränslandet mellan fiktion och verklighet, hennes skulpturer liknar föremål vi känner till, men är tillverkade av andra material och dimensioner än vi är vana vid.
Israelssons installation Go, Gone består av tio skulpturer i olika storlekar som hänger från taket. Skulpturerna är formade som stora sovsäckar, mjuka och till synes slitna av yttre åverkan. Stoppningen är synlig och materialet är fläckat, som om det legat ute under lång tid och bearbetats av tidens gång. De omsorgsfullt handsydda skulpturerna vittnar om en stilla vila. Tryggheten sömnen inger, men också sårbarheten. Tyget blir då ett försvar, ett lager mellan kroppen och världen som skyddar och värmer mot det som sker utanför. Verkets titel Go, Gone antyder att något gått förlorat och får sovsäckarna att likna tomma skal. Det enda som återstår är minnet av det som en gång funnits. Samtidigt inger den uppmanande titeln också ett hopp om att lämna förlusten bakom sig och gå vidare, att bli fri, och precis som puppan i en kokong förvandlas och pånyttfödas.
Materialvalet, silke och läder, förstärker känslan av skulpturerna som kokonger, skapade av naturen snarare än syntetiskt framställda av människan. Det är från just silkeskokongen som silkestråden utvinns. De två materialen silke och läder är båda organiska naturmaterial, men samtidigt varandras ytterligheter. Där det ena är ömtåligt och skirt, är det andra tåligt, slitstarkt och grovt. Kontrasten mellan materialen, det skira och mjuka, det grova och smutsiga, bidrar till en känsla av sällsamhet och förfrämligande: föremålen känns bekanta men samtidigt underliga.
Go, Gone, 2019-2020, 10 skulpturer, olika dimensioner, silke och läder.”
