When 23 of Sweden’s leading photographers gather around the theme, we land far from traditional nature photography. The exhibition is not about nature as a motif but as a projection surface or approach. Some photographers start from their own nature, others work against nature, because some are nature a fund, a statement, or a condition. Nature is one of the most common motifs in photography and not infrequently one of the most boring. We wanted to challenge that. The result is an exhibition where we have selected 23 photographers who use nature in their images in widely different ways. The expressions span both that aesthetic and the political, conscious identity or free intuition, says Johan Lindskog, creative director at Picture This Gallery. Why is Picture This Gallery doing this exhibition?We are Scandinavia’s foremost gallery for photography and exhibit many international ones artists. This time we wanted to dig where we stand and highlight the very best the Swedish photographers. Modern photography has a strong position in Sweden and a large one artistic and commercial potential. We wanted to show it, says Pelle Höglund, gallery manager at Picture This Gallery. Are there only female photographers in the exhibition? Why?When we started looking at which photographers we wanted to invite to the exhibition, it showed it turns out that the ones we thought related the most interestingly to the theme simply were women. You can think about why it was like that, what significance it has for the result. It will be an open question in the exhibition, says Johan Lindskog. image courtesy of Picture This Gallery photography Ewa-Mari Johansson, Tree of Life, The Tree PARTICIPATING ARTISTS Aida ChehrehgoshaAnna RiwkinAnn EringstamAnna ClarénAnnika HolmérCamilla ÅkransCecilia EdefalkDenise GrünsteinEva KlassonEwa StackelbergEwa-Mari JohanssonHelena BlomqvistJulia HettaKarolina HenkeLena GranefeltLisen StibekMaria FribergMaria MiesenbergerMartina Hoogland-IvanowTova MozardTrinidad CarrilloTuija LindströmÅsa Sjöström PICTURE THIS GALLERY – ST PAULSGATAN 29 – 118 48 STOCKHOLM 0707-411 400 WED-FRI: 12:00-17:00 SAT: 12:00-16:00 image courtesy of Picture This Gallery photography Annika Holmér, HwalerWalesWale, 70x70cm image courtesy of Picture This Gallery photography Trinidad Carillo_Untitled_2007 image courtesy of Picture This Gallery photography Aida Cherehgosha, Was Still Too Late, 2011, 122x155cm

Odalisque Holiday Gift Guide December 2nd 2:36 PM Saturday, December 2, 2023 The Chanel Cruise 2023/24 collection or maybe most known as the “Barbie collection” outside the fashion industrie, is still in my dreams and I can’t deny crushing over the pink colorful sequin bags from the collection.For me sequins is for everyday, it uplifts the everyday with that little extra sparkle. The pattern of the sequins on this bag reminds me of the sunny days strolling on Copacabana drinking fresh coconut water straight from the coconut and a cup with freshly cut juicy mango. I love the contrast that reminds you of the vibrant energy of a tropical paradise. It’s as if the bag captures the essence of those carefree, sun-drenched moments—where the glimmer of sequins mirrors the shimmering ocean, and the playful patterns evoke the vivacious spirit of the Copacabana. It’s a delightful contrast, blending the glamour of sequins with the laid-back allure of a sunny beach day, encapsulating a sense of both elegance and leisure. This bag, with its vibrant colors and playful design, feels like a wearable memory of joyous, sunny summer-filled adventures. Find your perfect bag here www.chanel.com
