From the Museum Collection
Artists use watercolour in different ways. For some of them it is their main medium, while others use it to sketch out their sometimes monumental works, or as a complement to other techniques. The strength of watercolour lies in its versatility. The light, airy and spontaneous in some pictures, are replaced by the profound, dark and elaborate in other works. Water and paint convey the expressive and the lyrical, the narrative and the abstract, the colourful and the monochrome, the rough and the completed, the landscape and the human, the visible and the hidden.
Participating artists: Cecilia Edefalk, Kjell Ekström, Saara Ekström, Carin Ellberg, Georg Guðni Hauksson, Mats Gustafson, Arne Isacsson, Petri Hytönen, Peter Land, Lars Lerin, Anna Ling, Susanne Norberg, Maria Nordin, Eggert Pétursson, Ulf Rollof, Adam Saks, Magdolna Szabó, Carl Wargh and Gunnel Wåhlstrand
The selection from the museum's art collection is presented in parallel with the exhibition Process – On the Joy of Painting Watercolour.
