gallery weekend stockholm

Gallery Weekend Stockholm was initiated in 2019 to draw attention to everything that is happening on the Stockholm gallery scene. Last year was a big success, with artist talks and performances and exhibitions around the city. This year will be a bit special due to the pandemic, with less public happenings, but since it is spread out in so many places and during the whole weekend, it can still be carried out in a safe way.

ed. art are new members of the Swedish Gallery Association, which is behind the initiative, and will be open 12-18 on Saturday 14 November and 12-16 on Sunday 15. We will be presenting brand new artworks by Erik Jeor. He is most known for his large format watercolor paintings but we will be showing new soft ground etchings. In these prints, he experiments with transferring his painterly language to a different medium: copper plates in the format 30 x 40 cm. 

Erik Jeor

In this series, Jeor draws inspiration from Andrei Rublev's medieval, austere, icons within the Christian Orthodox tradition and Paul Klee's humorous and naive perspective, where Jeor experiments with Bauhaus and surrealism and the different art teachings of these schools. This cross-fertilization stimulates in-depth reflection on these art directions.

Erik Jeor has collaborated with Mikael Wahrby, who was previously a senior lecturer in intaglio printing at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He is responsible for the technical production of the artworks.

Erik Jeor was born in 1974 and lives in Stockholm, where he is active primarily as a visual artist but also as a musician. He has a master's degree in Fine Art from Royal Institute of Art of Stockholm. In addition to the Nordic countries, works by him have been shown, for example, in Hong Kong, Shanghai and New York. His art is represented in collections at the Moderna Museet and Malmö Konstmuseum and a public work can be seen at Karolinska Institutet.
