Emma Larsson Dreams of Beings Alive

Emma Larsson
Dreams of Beings Alive

October 15 2022

Emma Larsson is a visionary artist based in Stockholm. It was her work that rekindled my fascination with watercolor painting, and I don’t know anybody who creates more expressively within this medium.

Her dreamscapes are an ode to joy and all that lives. Evoking a feeling of kinship and utter strangeness at the same time. She describes her work as an ongoing exploration without rules and conventions, inspired by the desire to live.

Larsson is represented by Hugo & Marie.

Art is not about art. It’s about life, and that sums it up.

Painted Land
Australian Aboriginal Art

The art of the Australian Aborigines is one of the oldest artistic traditions alive. This selection shows paintings from the mid-fifties until now by artists from the Arnhem Land region in Northern Australia.

Illustrating
Infinity

In my point of view these 3D animations of mandelbrot sets are a very effective way of getting a glimpse of infinity

Alexis Pichot
Nocturnal Rites of Passage

The long-time exposures Alexis brings back from his solitary immersions into the night reflect a desire for stillness, to retrieve a timeless meaning lost to modern man.
