ABOUT:

Karin Mamma Andersson (Swedish, b.1962), commonly known as Mamma Anderson, is a Contemporary painter. Her work is often figurative, frequently depicting domestic interiors and snowy landscapes, and is known for its quiet, dreamlike quality, and use of theater-like pictorial space. Her work has been exhibited internationally, and she has been represented by David Zwirner gallery since 2004. Her first solo museum exhibition took place in 2010 in Colorado at the Aspen Art Museum, and she has gone on to have other solo shows at the Douglas Hyde Gallery in Dublin, the Museum Haus Esters in Germany, and at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, among others. She represented Nordic countries during the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003. 

Andersson was born and raised near the Polar Circle, in Luleå, Sweden. She pursued her studies at the Royal University College of Fine Arts in Stockholm, where she adopted the nickname "Mamma," which she continues to use to this day. Her work can be found in the public collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, among others. She lives and works in Stockholm.  - ARTNET

BREAK OUT THE PAINT:

A visit with the charming painterly works of:

KIRSTEN SIMS 

Illustrator 

Cape Town, South Africa

Kirsten's work holds a true spontaneity & energy that flows within each brush stoke. Her images evoke a bold saucy sense of whimsical narrative, combined with her own unique Degas-ian sophisticated color palette.

ABOUT:

KIRSTEN SIMS expresses the way she views the world through painting, seeking a connection with viewers through images. Her work has a strong narrative quality and is often animated by a sartorial crowd of characters, but she just as naturally replaces the theatre of human interaction with the drama of a natural landscape. Whether familiar or imagined, place plays an important role in her work. She lives and works in Cape Town but the vista she has painted most is the ocean view from her family home in Mossel Bay. Sims completed a BA in Applied Design at the Stellenbosch Academy and her Honours degree in Illustration at Stellenbosch University. She currently works on editorial and commercial illustration projects while exhibiting both locally and internationally.
