[...] Ndërsa pikturat e hershme të Elisabeth Wedenig ishin pikturuar më saktë, me kafshë, bimë dhe njerëz të ndarë qartë nga njëri-tjetri, gjithçka tani duket se shkrihet në një lëvizje dinamike. Motivet figurative gjithashtu nuk janë më të pikturuara në mënyrë realiste dhe plastike, por nganjëherë përkthehen në mënyrë abstrakte me penelata të gjera. Elisabeth Wedenig lidh me mjeshtëri subjektet individuale dhe fushat e ngjyrave, duke krijuar një realitet të ri brenda pikturës. Zonat e shtrembëruara shërbejnë gjithashtu për të sjellë njëkohësisht nivele të ndryshme narrative në kompozim. Gjithmonë ka diçka misterioze në pikturat e saj, që na çon në thellësitë e ndjenjave dhe kujtimeve të fshehura.

[…] While the early paintings of Elisabeth Wedenig were more precisely painted, with animals, plants, and people clearly separated from one another, everything now seems to merge in a dynamic movement. The figurative motifs are also no longer painted as realistically and plastically but sometimes rendered abstractly with broad brushstrokes. Elisabeth Wedenig skillfully connects the individual subjects and color fields, creating a new reality within the painting. The distorted areas also serve to simultaneously bring different narrative levels into the composition. There is always something mysterious about her paintings, leading us into the depths of hidden feelings and memories.

Momente nga hapja e Spectaculum Norrkoping 1962 të Joni Kraja , javën e kaluar Studio44, Stockholm .

Jon Kraja Spectaculum Norrkoping 1962 at Studio44, Stockholm VernissageSolo show 31.5-16.6.2024

On September 12, 1962, during a football match against Norrköping, my father scored the first Albanian goal in the history of the UEFA Champions League. While this event remains a statistic linked by fate to Sweden and Norrköping, it holds a deeper significance for me.
Memories belong to events and times that pass away, yet they remain alive as long as we breathe.
After the match, when he returned to Albania with the triumph of that goal, he brought back a ball signed by the players and an artistic book featuring black and white photos from Swedish life style.
To this day, I don’t fully understand why that book accompanied me throughout my childhood and youth. However, I can say that the design of its pages and the symbolic image of the ball unknowingly shaped the purpose of my life.
We are part of those moments when our parents chose to keep some things unspoken...”
This historic moment became the inspiration of this series of works - a ghostly and anxious vortex of life and fate

Exhibition in view until 16 June 2024.

Välkomna!

Our second Off-Site exhibition this year takes place in Stockholm. Studio44 is hosting a solo show by artist Jon Kraja. This is part of our international artist exchange program.

[…] The birds (in Petra Rintelen’s painting) that have not even taken possession of the room and its objects, but rather manage everything like a very own kingdom...that may still offer them surprises. We see a kind of inner truth, as if behind the scenes. And it’s just amazing that someone can not only find that, but also show it to others in paintings. And the more deeply we become familiar with some of these works, the more we are moved by the idea that we ourselves and what surrounds us today remains unnoticed behind the backdrop, whereas the images present the celebration of the real. This artistic capture isn’t based on sophisticated cleverness, here a soul disbosoms itself in its own way. We like to collect the benefit from this with our eyes, because it is love and it is kindness.” Text by the painter Martin Stommel)

We are happy to move from abstract to figuration presenting these two beautiful paintings by .

Barbara Fragogna | Exoplanets / Portrait of a Pupil
Gallery70 is delighted to present an Online Exclusive solo show of the Italian artist Barbara Fragogna.
With a special focus on Cosmology, the artist brings a series of works entitled “Exoplanets - Portraits of a Pupil”. A rational-surreal representation of possible worlds to be discovered outside the solar system which, paradoxically, however, are composed of symbolic and organic elements of the human body such as eyes or skulls/skeletons as if to say (oversimplifying the much richer concept) that the solution to many of the social environmental and political issues are both within reach as extensions of our will (the Socratic ‘know yourself’) and slippery and slimy because of the entirely pragmatic difficulty of changing our own habits (i.e. How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil).

Barbara Fragogna, born in Venice 1975, is a multidisciplinary artist, art director and publisher.
“My artistic research investigates the themes of productive failure such as irony, anxiety, the sense of ridicule, nausea, individualism, non-democratic confrontation, obsession, patriarchy, the defeat of memory, the re-dimension of the ego, the absurd and the paradox through the artistic and curatorial practice as a useless but necessary action.”
She has exhibited in galleries and institutions in Italy and abroad, she worked as art director of KH Tacheles from 2008 to 2012, in 2013 she founded the Independent publishing house Edizioni Inaudite. From 2015 to 2019 she has been the director of the Fusion Art Gallery / Inaudita project in Turin. In 2020 she moved part of her projects to Inauditaland, Padova.
Currently based in Padua Italy.

Petra Rintelen ka lindur në vitin 1969 në Bon. Në vitin 1993 ajo hyri në Akademinë e Arteve të Bukura Enschede në Holandë, ku u diplomua në vitin 1997. Gjatë 20 viteve të fundit Rintelen krijoi një botë shprehjeje mjaft individuale të bazuar në hapësira pikture shumë të kufizuara, ku ajo krijon skena mjaft të fshehta, në dukje simbolike. Artistja ndërton natyra te qeta si një skenografi për kafshë të ndryshme.

Petra Rintelen was born 1969 at Bonn. In 1993 she entered the Academy of Fine Arts Enschede in the Netherlands, where she graduated in 1997. From the late 90‘s on Rintelen turned to surrealistic motifs and the „circus“-theme, worked on artistic scenes and began to paint portraits and objects after nature. Over the last 20 years Rintelen created a quite individual world of expression based on a paintingspace that is strongly restricted, where she deals with rather cryptic, apparently symbolical scenes. The artist often applies still-life as a stage for various animals of sometimes traditionally meaningful character.

Millie Benson is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her paintings and photographs have been shown throughout the United States and internationally. Coming out of the Midwest experimental noise scene, she has played and written music in numerous bands. Benson moves fluidly between mediums and methods of making, from writing songs, to composing photographs, to an embodied painting practice.

Gallery70 is happy to present the latest series of collage on ARTSY

Second part […] After their performances, be it on the battlefield or the stage, they receive applause from an appreciative audience. It’s this convergence of ex*****on and acclaim that intertwines their narratives.
The irony deepens when I envision them merged into one entity. Imagine stun guns replaced by trumpets, flutes replacing rifles, and accordions substituting for contrabasses. The transition amplifies the absurdity of their spectacle. What was once solemn pomp and circumstance now morphs into a farcical display, akin to harlequin theatrics. The very figures who paraded as guardians of peace through the might of arms are now transformed into whimsical jesters, proudly flaunting glory with feathered caps and blaring brass.
This dichotomy embodies the essence of human nature – the pursuit of glory amidst the fallen. It’s a melody of ego and satisfaction, akin to music and glass, fragile yet resonant with triumph. However, it’s a fleeting joy, leaving us pondering the expressions on the faces of those depicted in these scenes. Perhaps, echoing the sentiment of the good soldier Švejk, Mr. Colonel, I report to you with dedication, because I’m an idiot! “ Fatmir Juka
