On the last day that this exhibition was open I ran uphill in the heart of the city to see the exhibition of Renée Lord at Galleri Eva Solvang. I entered a tiny, but very tasteful gallery.
Who Renée Lord is (the name suggests a woman), stays somewhat of a mystery; at least there is no website of her and her work. But at the website of the gallery some of her photos and sculptures are shown. The photographs are of nature, mostly woods and watery scenes, and the composition, though the subject is organic, is sharp and very well balanced. The photograph on the invitation in fact looks so well in balance, that it is almost eerie – how can trees be that fixed? Until you see what she has done to it.
The sculptures by Lord are also very good: it is the same contrast between tightness and organic forms that give the sculptures enormous tension. Also, the way in which she balances form and rest form is very interesting. I am glad that I dropped by just in time.
The next exhibition at Eva Solvang’s will be of Gösta Backlund, who uses a combination of aquarelle and enamel. The invitation looks promising, so I will definitely go up there again soon to see it.
Unfortunately closed now. Exhibition Gösta Backlund opens tomorrow at:
Galleri Eva Solvang, Grevgatan 26, Stockholm
