Trinidad Carrillo (born 1975) is a photographer born in Peru and active in Gothenburg. Here, she shows a series of new photographs linked with her long-standing exploration of everyday life, memory, dreams, and healing processes.
In the new series of colour photographs included in the exhibition, Trinidad Carrillo works with among other things lenticular printing, a technique that gives images a three-dimensional expression, in which the motifs change depending on the viewer’s movements. The resulting scenes are highly atmospheric, shifting between the visible and the hinted-at, the real and the dream-like.
Olle Norås (born in 1982, Dalarna) trained at the HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design in Gothenburg and works with abstract watercolours focusing on organic processes in nature and ecological cycles. In the exhibition, he presents around ten metaphorical nature images with a meditative and existential tone.
Olle Norås’ exhibition also contains many new works. In his latest paintings, the abstract idiom is inspired by flower-like shapes reminiscent of themes such as time, change and humanity’s relationship to nature.
The Stena Foundation is an important institution in the cultural life of Western Sweden, providing a unique opportunity for artists to produce new works and increase their visibility. This year, six cultural practitioners each receive 300 000 SEK to stimulate further development. Since 1996, the Foundation has awarded 179 scholarships for the continued training of talented individuals in fields such as art, music, theatre, dance, literature, scenography and circus art. Furthermore, the Foundation has awarded grants to many research and culture projects.
