Emma Hartman: Springs [signed]

Between the abstract and the figurative: New work by a fantastic painter!

From the publisher:
In this new body of work, Emma Hartman expands her visual language with intensified hues and a heightened expressive presence. As the title suggests, Springs becomes a source of emotional intensity and introspective inner landscapes. Through soft gradients and luminous layers, Emma Hartman creates atmospheric compositions in which colour itself emerges as both subject and sensation. Guided by an intuitive approach to colour and a deep engagement with the painterly process, Emma Hartman´s works convey a contemplative and evocative quality.

Emma Hartman was born in 1974 in Örebro and lives and works in Stockholm. She received an MFA from Umeå Konsthögskola in 2006. Since her graduation exhibition at Bildmuseet in Umeå Hartman’s work has been presented in a series of solo and group exhibitions around Sweden and abroad. She has received several acclaimed scholarships like the Rune Pettersson scholarship, the Verner Åkerman scholarship and the Palle Pernevi scholarship.
