• The gallery represents emerging and established artists working across painting, sculpture, photography and installation. Diverse in approach yet connected through a strong commitment to material inquiry and image-making, the artists reflect the gallery's interest in practices that expand how we perceive and experience the contemporary world.

Alexandra Karpilovski

Born 1988, Kyiv, Ukraine. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.

  • Alexandra Karpilovski works across painting, text, sculpture, installation and performance. Moving fluidly between visual and linguistic forms, she explores how personal and collective histories shape perception, relationships and lived experience. Her practice unfolds through a recurring vocabulary of images and texts that move between intimacy, symbolism and observation.
  • Suns, moons, flowers, bodies and handwritten fragments recur throughout her work, forming a visual vocabulary that moves between symbolism and everyday experience.
  • Karpilovski develops visual environments where intuition and emotional presence take precedence over narrative resolution. Images often unfold as psychological landscapes in which inner and outer realities overlap, allowing familiarity and uncertainty to coexist. Rather than illustrating specific stories, her works remain open to association, encouraging viewers to move between personal experience and broader cultural references.
  • Language plays a central role within her practice. Text functions not as explanation but as an extension of the image itself, generating rhythm, atmosphere and alternative points of entry into the work. Through painting, writing and performance, Karpilovski constructs spaces where belonging, displacement and emotional inheritance remain in continual negotiation.
  • Alongside her individual practice, she is a member of the performance duo Private Parts and the collaborative platform Atlas Television with Duda Bebek. Born in Ukraine and raised in Sweden, her work frequently reflects on migration, identity and the ways in which personal experience intersects with larger social and cultural narratives.

Andreas Emenius

Born 1973, Stockholm, Sweden. Lives and works in New York, USA.

  • Andreas Emenius is a painter whose work brings together mythology, art history and contemporary image culture within a distinctive visual language. Moving between figuration and abstraction, his paintings evolve through layered processes in which gesture, colour and recurring motifs generate shifting spatial and psychological environments.
  • Figures, symbols and fragments emerge and dissolve across the surface, resisting fixed interpretation and allowing multiple associations to coexist. References to ritual, archetype and popular visual culture circulate throughout the work, creating images that remain open and unstable rather than resolving into linear narratives. Through repetition, accumulation and revision, Emenius develops compositions that invite prolonged looking and gradual discovery.
  • Central to his practice is a continual negotiation between structure and improvisation. Familiar forms appear only to be transformed, interrupted or absorbed into broader pictorial systems. Meaning emerges through rhythm, density and the act of perception itself, allowing the works to oscillate between recognition and ambiguity.
  • Emenius studied at Central Saint Martins in London and has exhibited internationally at institutions including Moderna Museet Malmö, Liljevalchs, Nikolaj Kunsthal, Viborg Kunsthal, SCHUNCK Museum, HEART Museum and the Gwangju Biennale. His work forms part of a sustained investigation into painting's ability to hold multiple cultural, symbolic and emotional registers simultaneously.

Evelina Hägglund

Born 1992, Stockholm, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.

  • Evelina Hägglund works across sculpture and large-scale drawing. Her practice examines the relationship between body, material and perception, approaching making as a process of resistance, duration and physical negotiation. Through sustained engagement with demanding materials, she explores how experience can be registered through matter rather than representation.
  • Working primarily with graphite on hessian alongside plaster, metal and other structurally resistant materials, Hägglund develops forms shaped through repetition, pressure and accumulation. The coarse weave of the hessian actively resists the hand, transforming the act of drawing into a prolonged encounter between body and surface. Material becomes both subject and collaborator, recording traces of labour, time and attention.
  • Across her work, balance appears as a temporary and continuously shifting condition. Leaning structures, suspended forms and densely worked surfaces explore tensions between stability and collapse, control and surrender, weight and fragility. Meaning emerges through posture, pressure and spatial relationships rather than narrative description, allowing the viewer to encounter the work physically as well as visually.
  • Educated at Goldsmiths, University of London, following studies at the Academy of Visual Arts in Ljubljana, Hägglund has exhibited internationally at institutions and galleries including Kunstraum Niederösterreich, Parafin, Union Pacific, Saatchi Gallery, Golsa and Bonniers Konsthall. Her work reflects a sustained interest in the body's capacity to absorb, resist and transform external forces.

Ilja Karilampi

Born 1983, Gothenburg, Sweden. Lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

  • Ilja Karilampi works across sculpture, installation, digital media and public art. Drawing on the visual languages of technology, popular culture, music and urban environments, his practice examines how images, symbols and systems circulate within contemporary society. His works reflect the accelerating conditions of contemporary life while questioning the structures through which value, identity and meaning are produced.
  • Processes of sampling, accumulation and transformation are central to Karilampi's practice. Logos, digital artefacts, graphic fragments and cultural references are extracted from their original contexts and reassembled into new configurations that oscillate between abstraction and recognition. Across both physical and digital formats, he approaches the artwork as a site where information, memory and collective experience intersect.
  • Humour, immediacy and visual intensity coexist with a critical awareness of contemporary image culture. Rather than positioning himself outside the systems he examines, Karilampi works from within them, embracing their contradictions while exposing their underlying mechanisms. His practice remains attentive to the ways technology shapes perception, social behaviour and the construction of personal and collective narratives.
  • Karilampi studied at Städelschule in Frankfurt and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. His work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including MoMA PS1, Index, Kiasma, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Kunsthalle Zürich, ZKM and the Barbican. Alongside his exhibition practice, he has realised numerous public commissions in Sweden.

Luciana Ame

Born 1958, Krakow, Poland. Lives and works between Italy and Sweden.

  • Luciana Ame works across drawing and painting, developing a practice centred on rhythm, structure and reduction. Originally trained as a classical musician at the Academy of Music in Krakow, she approaches image-making with a sensitivity to repetition, tempo and variation that continues to inform her work today.
  • Working primarily through line, Ame creates compositions in which figures emerge and dissolve through continuous contours. Operating between abstraction and representation, her works distil bodily presence into essential gestures and forms, allowing images to remain open while retaining a strong emotional charge. Rather than describing specific narratives, her drawings and paintings create spaces where movement, perception and psychological presence unfold through minimal means.
  • Recent works introduce subtle shifts of colour into a practice long defined by monochrome precision. Colour functions not as decoration but as an extension of the line itself, expanding the emotional and spatial register of the image while preserving its formal clarity. Throughout her work, restraint becomes a generative force, allowing small variations to carry significant expressive weight.
  • Across her practice, Ame explores the relationship between movement and stillness, presence and absence, structure and improvisation. Her works invite sustained attention, revealing a visual language that is at once disciplined, intimate and quietly resonant.

Joakim Kocjancic

Born 1975, Milan, Italy. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.
  • Joakim Kocjancic is a photographer whose practice is centred on analogue black-and-white photography. Working through observation, proximity and duration, he explores how images can register subtle relationships between people, places and everyday experience. His photographs are shaped by attention rather than spectacle, focusing on moments that often remain overlooked.
  • Originally trained as a painter before completing a Master's degree in Photojournalism at the London College of Communication, Kocjancic approaches photography with a strong sensitivity to composition, atmosphere and material presence. His images emerge through sustained engagement with the world around him, allowing light, movement and spatial relationships to determine the photograph rather than preconceived narratives or staged scenarios.
  • Whether photographing urban environments, landscapes or human encounters, Kocjancic is interested in the fragile threshold between observation and interpretation. His work balances documentary attentiveness with a distinctly personal sensibility, creating photographs that feel both immediate and contemplative. Grain, contrast and tonal variation become integral components of an image-making process grounded in physical presence and lived experience.
  • His photobook Europea (2021), a long-term exploration of everyday life across European cities, received the Swedish Photo Book Prize. In 2024, he was awarded first prize in the Gomma Black & White Award. His work is represented in the collection of Moderna Museet and in private collections internationally.

Bill Billekvist

Born 1992, Stockholm, Sweden. Lives and works in Oslo, Norway.

  • Bill Billekvist's painting is shaped through an ongoing dialogue between material, movement and perception. Working with transparent textiles such as ripstop and voile, he approaches painting as both image and object, allowing the physical properties of the support to actively influence the composition.
  • Colour, light and structure function as the primary elements of his practice. Layers accumulate through a process that balances precision with openness, creating works in which gesture and construction remain in dynamic tension. The visibility of the support often becomes integral to the image itself, emphasising the painting's physical presence while simultaneously expanding its spatial possibilities.
  • Rooted in bodily movement and sustained attention, Billekvist's process unfolds through repetition, rhythm and responsiveness to material conditions. Rather than imposing predetermined outcomes, he allows forms to emerge gradually through adjustment and negotiation. The resulting paintings oscillate between control and release, stability and fluidity, revealing the traces of their own making.
  • Billekvist graduated from the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts in 2022 and has exhibited at Podium, Kösk, Hos Arne and Coulisse Gallery. Across his practice, painting becomes a site where material sensitivity and spatial awareness converge, producing works that are both formally rigorous and quietly intuitive.

Florine Imo

Born 1995, Vienna, Austria. Lives and works in Vienna, Austria.

  • Florine Imo works across painting, sculpture and installation. Drawing on mythology, spirituality and contemporary visual culture, she constructs immersive worlds inhabited by hybrid figures, celestial beings and symbolic forms. Her practice explores how mythological and symbolic narratives continue to shape contemporary understandings of the body, gender and collective imagination.
  • At the centre of Imo's work is a process of world-building. Rather than treating painting, sculpture and installation as separate disciplines, she develops interconnected visual systems in which images, objects and environments operate together. Mythological archetypes coexist with contemporary references, allowing the fantastical and the familiar to occupy the same space. Figures emerge as active protagonists within these constructed worlds, embodying tensions between vulnerability and agency, desire and resistance.
  • While her imagery often appears seductive and theatrical, it remains open-ended in meaning. Imo is interested in how symbolic languages evolve over time and how they continue to shape our understanding of gender, spirituality and collective imagination. Her works invite multiple readings, encouraging viewers to move between narrative, symbolism and personal association.
  • Recent exhibitions include Judgement Day at Steve Turner, Los Angeles, Light as a Feather at LBF Contemporary, London, and SUBSTANZ at Künstlerhaus Wien. Through an ambitious and expanding practice, Imo has developed a distinctive visual language that bridges mythology and contemporary experience while remaining firmly rooted in painting.

Johan Barrett

Born 1983, Stockholm, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.

  • Johan Barrett works across painting and sculpture. His practice explores the psychological dimensions of landscape, still life and architectural space, using familiar motifs as vehicles for memory, projection and emotional resonance. Drawing on both personal experience and a background shaped by Swedish and American cultural influences, he creates images that move between observation and invention, intimacy and distance.
  • Recurring elements such as palm trees, horizons and domestic objects appear throughout his work, functioning less as descriptive subjects than as fragments within larger imagined worlds. Barrett is interested in the ways images carry emotional and symbolic weight beyond their immediate appearance. Through subtle shifts in atmosphere, colour and composition, he constructs environments that feel simultaneously familiar and elusive, inviting viewers to navigate their own associations and interpretations.
  • Rather than illustrating specific narratives, Barrett's works remain open and associative, allowing meaning to emerge gradually through looking. His paintings often occupy a space between recollection and anticipation, where memory, imagination and lived experience intersect. Across both painting and sculpture, he develops a visual language characterised by quiet tension, balancing stillness and movement, certainty and ambiguity.
  • Barrett has exhibited in Sweden and internationally, including at Liljevalchs, Galleri Golsa and curated projects in London. He studied at Beckmans College of Design, Uppsala University and Grafikskolan in Stockholm.

Jarl Ingvarsson

Born 1955, Asmara, Eritrea. Lives and works in Sparsör, Sweden.

  • For more than four decades, Jarl Ingvarsson has developed a distinctive painterly language that moves freely between abstraction and figuration. His work combines formal experimentation with a deeply personal approach to image-making, drawing equally from everyday observation, memory and cultural references.
  • Recurring motifs such as flowers, stools, figures and fragments of popular imagery appear throughout his paintings, not as fixed symbols but as elements within an evolving visual vocabulary. Ingvarsson approaches painting as a process of continual discovery, allowing unexpected relationships to emerge through colour, gesture and composition. Humour and seriousness frequently coexist within the same work, creating images that remain open to interpretation while retaining a strong emotional and psychological presence.
  • Music, literature and lived experience have long informed his practice. References to jazz, poetry and popular culture move fluidly through the work, contributing to a visual language that is both immediate and reflective.
  • A graduate of the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, Ingvarsson has exhibited extensively throughout Sweden. His work is represented in the collections of Moderna Museet, Gothenburg Museum of Art and Malmö Art Museum. In 2018, he was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal in recognition of his contribution to Swedish contemporary art.

Axel Versteegh

Born 1989, Stockholm, Sweden. Lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.

  • Axel Versteegh's painting explores the relationship between body, memory and material, developing images that hover between appearance and dissolution. Working primarily in series, he approaches painting as an open-ended process in which forms emerge gradually through accumulation, revision and repetition.
  • Fragments of figures, traces of gesture and shifting fields of colour recur throughout his work, creating compositions that remain in a state of continual transformation. Rather than depicting the body directly, Versteegh is interested in how bodily experience can be registered through texture, rhythm and material presence. His paintings often suggest something familiar without fully resolving into representation, allowing ambiguity to remain active within the image.
  • Central to his practice is an attention to painting as a temporal medium. Layers build slowly, carrying traces of previous decisions while remaining open to further change. Meaning emerges not through fixed symbols or narratives but through the physical encounter between surface, colour and perception. The resulting works occupy a space between recognition and abstraction, vulnerability and resistance, where the act of looking becomes inseparable from the experience of the painting itself.
  • Versteegh graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in 2018 and also studied at the Hochschule der Bildenden Künste in Dresden. His work forms part of a sustained investigation into the material and emotional possibilities of contemporary painting. Florine Imo
