PATRICIO REIG

MARS 28 - NOVEMBER 3

This summer Patricio Reig will take you on a journey in the name of art. Let his stunning work bring you inside his creative world in the beautiful surroundings of Norrviken. 

To travel can be an inner journey or an outer one. It changes us and our perspective. Art is a journey without return that fills our soul and defines our style. Photography is a representation of truth and a way to leave a mark. Art never ends and always wants to investigate. Nothing is said and nothing seems to indicate that a horizon is visible. It is a blind journey, but full of light at the same time. The searcher need food for their fantasy, an impulse to his desires and a leitmotif to guide them.

The Argentinian born artist/photographer/poet Patricio Reig is a multifaceted artist who combines diverse technical resources to treat photography not only as a testimonial graphic element, but also as an object, or almost as a spectral presence, which gives the viewer the opportunity to find the nuances that turn the image into a living reflection. His work transpires beyond the photographic paper where it has been trapped, and stimulates the effect of memory and nostalgia, this time intimately related to our most immediate present. He prints and sets his images on special oriental paper, folded over and over, and finally dipped in a bath of coffee and sodium thiosulfate. He has found the result intriguing ever since his very first experiments: fortuitous coffee stains become scars that denote each photograph, and consequently every story they tell. As he himself says: ”A portrait is not the recording of a single identity, but rather the layering of many elements. For this reason, the image may be fragmented, pieced back together, or even folded over, and yet it never loses its essence.”

Patricio Reig (San Juan, Argentina, 1959). After earning a PhD in Architecture in Barcelona, he began studying photography independently. His career has unfolded between Barcelona, Buenos Aires, and Milan, where he now lives and works. He has always been interested in experimenting with alternative photographic processes. His works are included in several public and private collections in America, Europe, and Asia.

ALBERT WATSON

RETROSPECTIVE

JUNE 1 - SEPTEMBER 29

Step into a world of timeless moments, captured in a collection that celebrates the most beloved works of the Scottish photographer. A visual journey through a variety of eras, places, and emotions, featuring some of the world’s most famous individuals. Moments that will never return but continue to live on through these masterpieces.

Albert Watson has made a name for himself as one of the world’s most successful and prolific photographers since he began his career in 1970. Blending art, fashion, and commercial photography, he has created some of the most iconic images ever seen. From portraits of Alfred Hitchcock, Kate Moss, and Steve Jobs, to landscape shots from Las Vegas and still lifes of artifacts from King Tutankhamun’s tomb. Watson’s versatility and diversity in his work are unmatched. His striking photographs and superb handmade prints are displayed in galleries and museums worldwide. The photo industry’s bible, Photo District News, named Albert one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time, alongside Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, among others.

Many of the images are iconic fashion photographs or portraits of rock stars, rappers, actors, and other celebrities. Albert has also created photographs for hundreds of advertising campaigns for major companies, such as Prada, the Gap, Levi’s, Revlon, and Chanel. He has shot dozens of film posters for Hollywood movies, such as ”Kill Bill” and ”Memoirs of a Geisha,” and has directed over 100 TV commercials.
Meanwhile, Albert has spent much of his time working on art projects for museum and gallery exhibitions, showcasing his renowned portraits and fashion photographs, along with powerful images from his travels and interests.

PIECES FROM THE EXHIBITION

NEELTJE DE VRIES

The PhotoGallery is proud to present an extraordinary exhibition of photography by Neeltje de Vries at Lydmar Hotel in Stockholm.

De Vries is an Amsterdam-based photographer whose work is characterized by timeless narratives of women from the present, past, and future. Her photographs resemble film stills where nudity is a functional artistic choice that accentuates not only purity and a connection with nature but also literally liberates, and offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a woman, free from expectations, prejudices, roles, and stereotypes.

The exhibition runs from April 19 to September 8.

De Vries has a background in graphic design, which is clearly reflected in her aesthetic. Her photographs are characterized by geometric shapes and precise cropping. She strives to create balance in her images and often experiments with lines, shapes, and frames to highlight the unique character of her models.

"I take most pictures when I'm not photographing. It's in the subconscious. The women in my photographs represent a part of myself," says De Vries.

By breaking with traditional gender roles and stereotypes, de Vries challenges the male gaze and highlights the complexity and diversity of women. Her work offers a thought-provoking and inspiring insight into what it means to be a free and independent woman in the modern world.

We hope you will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition and experience Neeltje De Vries's work for yourself.

Tracing The Traceless

JOAKIM ENEROTH

Joakim Eneroth is an internationally established visual artist represented with photographic artworks in museums such as the Tate Modern in London and the Brooklyn Museum of Art in New York. His images have an unfathomable ability to lift the viewer time and time again to yet another transformative perspective on reality.

In this summer's exhibition Tracing the Traceless, show some of his most desirable and noticed photographic artworks, including the iconic red houses from Swedish Red and the unique three-dimensional pools from Whispering Void.

Joakim Eneroth's photographs penetrate beneath the conscious layers of our perceptions and show us a place where thoughts and concepts have ceased. A stillness, which is suppressed by the title of his picture series. The ethereal zero point included in the summer exhibition. We also get to see works from his most recent image series, Blinded by the Known, where Eneroth explores even more deeply the human mind's ability to create psychological projections.

Tracing the Traceless is the sublime exploration of dimensionless consciousness. With his beautiful and mysterious images, Eneroth gently guides us into the silent, still and wordless existence that lies in the background of all experiences.

MATS ALFREDSSON

Street photography is discovering and documenting what others usually don´t see. Small human events in the public space, which normally go unnoticed, but in the frozen moment leaving traces. Mats passion for this classic genre is based on a genuine interest in people of all ages and social classes. Hidden behind his photos are miles of walking, hours of waiting at interesting places, traveling by train, tram and metro and the odd bar hanging. The basic rule is to never arrange, never talk to anyone he shoot in advance and never with people he know or have met before. It is an exciting journey of the unexpected and rapidly changing moment is the reward.

JOHAN BRINK

Johan Brink has developed his eye via various workshops, with the highly regarded photographer Mary Ellen Mark amongst others. Brink is fascinated by the ever changing city life, captured in the moment. Things that have been misplaced by accident, that no one wants, or details which get their beauty by carelessness, becoming even more beautiful as the sun and the shadows plays in collaboration. Brink has exhibited at the Gothenburg Auction House, in Kungsbacka Art Hall, at Hjertstedska Villan 2021, and at the Röhsska Museum of Design and Craft. Brink has also curated several exhibitions, for instance at Fotografiska in 2014.

RALPH NYKVIST

Photographer Ralph Nykvist's images are characterized by his special ability to see and capture the unintentionally comic in everyday life. He usually finds the motifs on his walks in cities, both at home and on trips to Paris, London, Munich and New York, among others. What the pictures have in common, regardless of where they were taken, is that they convey a strong curiosity about the world and how it appears viewed and depicted through the camera lens.

BIRGITTA NILSSON

Birgitta Nilsson is more or less self-taught. As a work of mourning and a tribute to a daughter who never got the chance to realize her dream of becoming a photographer. Birgitta bought her first camera in 2014 and took two short photography courses, the first in Norrköping and the second at Fridhem Folkhögskola in Svalöv. The latter with a focus on nature photography.

She describes herself as a free spirit who moved to London at the age of 17 to work as an au pair. It wasn't long before she was offered a job as a photo model. Skeptical, she entered the industry which led to a 15-year career in metropolises such as London, Barcelona, Milan and Berlin.

LES SAPEURS BY PER-ANDERS PETTERSSON

“Society of Ambianceurs and Elegant People”

Sape is a unique subculture within the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The project was photographed by Per-Anders Pettersson in 2012-2019.

Being a Sapeur is more than a way to dress, more than a hobby and more than a way to earn money and gain respect. It is a prestigious brotherhood with its own moral and social codes and ultimately a way of life and survival. Dressing up and parading in the streets makes them feel important, which allows them to forget their daily struggle in a chaotic Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Sapeurs try to imitate an exclusive lifestyle that they imagine exists in Europe. Although they are often treated as local celebrities, it is in the poorest neighborhoods that they spend their entire lives, and most will probably never visit cities like Paris or Brussels, the capitals of the countries that colonized the two Congos. Rival Sapeur groups compete for attention and visibility on the streets, and they often appear at major events and on television and radio programs.

Per-Anders Pettersson (born in Borås, Sweden in 1967) is a photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa. During his 30-year long career, Pettersson has covered a wide range of international news events, including the first Gulf War, democracy in South Africa starting with the election campaign in 1994, as well as conflicts in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Haiti. He has worked in over thirty-five African countries, covering stories on hunger in Ethiopia, civil wars in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Botswana and South Africa. Mr. Pettersson has worked in over one hundred countries on assignment for clients worldwide. His pictures have won praise and awards from, among others, World Press Photo, PDN, POY, NPPA, CARE, CHIPP, Unicef Photo of the Year, American Photography and Commarts. He has exhibited several times at Visa pour l’Image Perpignan, as well as at other festivals and galleries, such as Somerset House in London. In September 2013, his first book was published, Rainbow Transit, a look at democracy in South Africa. African Catwalk, a look at the fashion industry in Africa, was published in 2016.

”Personally, I have always had a strong love for art and especially for photography. Maybe for its ability to make us remember our own story, to experience both euphorically memories and expressions of emotion through the camera lens, that is passion for me. ” / Nette Johansson, CEO The PhotoGallery

The PhotoGallery presents iconic photographs by David Bailey.

FAKETRUTH by Alison Jackson

In cooperation with Crossover. Curator: Anke Degenhard

Likeness becomes real and fantasy touches on the believable. She creates scenarios we have all imagined but never seen before. 

Punk, Post Punk, New Wave: Onstage, Backstage, In Your Face, 1978–1991. Iconic and previously unseen images of punk and post punk’s quintessential bands.
