Art is often exhibited in weird locations but this has to be
one of the most interesting venues we’ve come across. The Swedish ambassador’s
residence in not usually open to the public — primarily because she lives there
and, like most people, doesn’t want random passers-by wandering through her
home. But she’s making an exception at the moment, because two Swedish artists
have taken over her dining room to display their art.
The two artists couldn’t be more different in their styles
but have both adapted the space available to complement their works. Emanuel
Rohss specialises in abstract works where the paint and the canvas melt into
one, providing the illusion of texture when in fact they are flat and smooth.
They have an escapist quality to them, furthered by the fact that they lean against
the walls wherever there is space — in one case, even placed in front of an
existing painting.
In contrast, Kent Karlsson’s humorous works have a more
immediate impact, if you can find them.
