The nonfigurative,Kerstin Lundin: Collages of Freedom Articles expressionist collages of Swedish artist Kerstin Lundin are as expansive as they are soothing, transporting the viewer into an ethereal realm rich in color and characterized by interesting compositional configurations of line and geometric form. Working in oils and mixed media materials, Lundin “builds” her paintings, allowing the image to develop and evolve in its own unique way. What results is abstract compositions that speak to the human soul and express the depth of all that’s contained within the interior landscape of the modern human.

With Lundin’s collages, the possibilities are endless, and one can approach the painting again and again and still discover new visual and emotive elements. Above all, Lundin wants the viewer to find a certain level of freedom in her work by which the viewer interacts with the piece to discover the meaning hidden within. When asked about her images, Lundin’s response is always the same: “Make up your own mind about what you see and feel.”

Kerstin Lundin currently lives and works in Taby, outside of Stockholm, Sweden.

About the Exhibition

Agora Gallery is pleased to announce Idiosyncratic Expressions, a group exhibition featuring forteen artists who look at the world and see something fantastic, in every sense of the word. Idiosyncratic Expressions offers the entire range of observational to surreal to non-representational, in painting and sculpture. One participant offers an extreme close-up of figures and the things they leave behind – clothing, boats, flowers arranged in vases – at angles no one could achieve naturally. Another depicts pure textures floating through space in a novel three-dimensional use of paint. Still another paints scenes that can never be: a unicorn lying at a woman’s feet, or a watering hole full of animals in the middle of a city street. Though their creators come from all around the globe and all levels of artistic education, the works in this exhibition share boldness of color, subject matter, and purpose. Each artist’s perspective is unique and highly personal to their own experience.
