Galleri Glas presents the artist Maja Witt in the exhibition Nattbok – Dagbok.

Maja Witt, born in 1964, is a painter based in Gustavsberg, where she lives and works. Her practice is grounded in the tradition of painting while engaging freely with its contemporary possibilities. Witt’s work investigates space, structure, and materiality, allowing colour, fragmented form, and accumulated traces of time to meet in shifting, layered compositions. She holds an MFA from Konstfack and has also studied philosophical aesthetics and literary studies at Stockholm University.

In Nattbok – Dagbok at Galleri Glas, Witt continues her exploration of painting’s liminal states, where material, memory, and time overlap and gradually dissolve into one another. By tearing away, relocating, and reinserting layers of paint into new works, she approaches painting as both an act of remembrance and transformation. Multiple temporalities coexist within these pictorial spaces. Something is in the process of emerging while something else has just begun to disappear. Fragments and remnants search for new constellations, and the painted surface becomes a site where colour simultaneously adheres and slips away. It is a space poised between language and silence, between thought and dream.

Maja Witt has previously exhibited at institutions including Liljevalchs, the Nationalmuseum, Sven-Harrys Art Museum, Botkyrka Konsthall, and Vara Konsthall. Her work is represented in public collections such as Stockholm County Council, Mångkulturellt Centrum, and Sveriges Allmänna Konstförening. She has received grants from, among others, the Längmanska Cultural Foundation and BUS, and has been an artist in residence at Ricklundgården in Saxnäs.
