Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall presents an exhibition where the young Swedish artist Fredrik Söderberg (b. 1972) meets the giant of the Swedish artistic canon, Carl Larsson (1853-1919). Fredrik Söderberg’s paintings encompassing the magical, fantastical and enchanting are a blend of historical references and contemporary cultural codes. Carl Larsson is one of these historical references.
This exhibition includes a selection of illustrations and studies by Larsson that use the imagination as a point of departure. His whorl of ornamentation and the detailed drawings of knights and dark forests place him in a context of renewed interest for contemporary artists who, based in fairy tales and folklore, create their own idiosyncratic fantasy worlds.
