黑料不打烊

Tim Van Laere Gallery is pleased to present Myrstackarnas land / Land of Anthills, the first solo show of new and recent works by the celebrated Swedish artist Jockum 狈辞谤诲蝉迟谤枚尘 at the gallery. This exhibition brings together a rich constellation of 狈辞谤诲蝉迟谤枚尘鈥檚 intimate collages, evocative pencil drawings, and delicately balanced mobile sculptures. 

We have all, at some point, been captivated by an image, moved by its resemblance to something in our memory. Memory is malleable, whimsical and at times tangible. Memory images point to something beyond oblivion. In the case of an artist, this can consist of the inadvertent borrowing of a detail from a certain artwork in the form of a subconscious memory of a composition the artist has once seen. The work is created anew when the composition is reused in the present. It is validated, perhaps as a sign of admiration towards the other artist. Jockum 狈辞谤诲蝉迟谤枚尘 does a lot of validating in his works. He is especially responsive to everything having to do with Swedish drawing over the ages, spanning from the Swedish historical narratives of the 1700s, to the humorists of the 1800s and the na茂vet茅 and down-to-earthness of the 1900s. 狈辞谤诲蝉迟谤枚尘鈥檚 knowledge offers him a sense of humility, both in the face of the committed approach of his predecessors as well as their unconditional desire to create. A desire that 狈辞谤诲蝉迟谤枚尘 clearly shares.
