Our next exhibition 'Moving Stillness: Tradition and Experimentation in the North' focusing on late nineteenth century, early modern and contemporary Nordic art will take place from 5th to 10th November at J/M Gallery in Notting Hill, London W11 1LJ. Opening hours 10.00am to 6.00pm weekdays and 11.00am to 6.00pm Saturday and Sunday.
A jounrney through the changing landscape of Nordic art, this exhibition presents the work of diverse artists from across Scandinavia, Finland and Iceland showing the influences of French Impressionism in the late nineteenth century moving through a more conceptual/abstract style of art in the early twentieth century and culminating in contemporary artists who reference the past while creating their own unique styles. Among the artists in the exhibition are Ivar Arosenius, Einar Jolin, Karel Appel, Alex Gough, Steinunn Thorarinsdottir and Alexander Klingspor.
There has been growing interest in this period of art in the Nordic countries. The director of Frieze Masters, Emanuela Tarizzo, interviewed for 'The Times' in September was asked which collecting trends to look out for, Tarizzo singles out late 19th century and early 20th century Scandinavian art... "This didn’t just happen overnight, in recent years we’ve had more acquisitions from museums across the world, not just in Scandinavia. And now we’re seeing galleries respond to that and the wider public of visitors and collectors."
