Press Release

David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Swedish painter Mamma Andersson (b. 1962) at the gallery’s Paris location. Characterised by a unique combination of textured brushstrokes, loose washes, stark graphic lines, and evocative colours, Andersson’s works embody a new genre of landscape painting that recalls late nineteenth-century Romanticism while also embracing a contemporary interest in layered, psychological compositions. This will be the artist’s fifth exhibition with the gallery, and follows her major 2021 solo presentation at the Louisiana Museum, Humlebæk, Denmark, and the two-person exhibition Tal R & Mamma Andersson – About Hill at the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, Denmark, in 2022–2023, which is traveling to Malmö Konstmuseum, Sweden, and Museum MORE, Gorssel, the Netherlands, in 2023–2024.

David Zwirner a le plaisir d’exposer les nouvelles œuvres de la peintre suédoise Mamma Andersson (née en 1962) dans les espaces parisiens de la galerie. Les tableaux de l’artiste se distinguent par leur esthétique composite si particulière, associant une touche matiériste à des lavis subtils, un trait sec et affirmé avec des couleurs évocatrices. Son travail incarne une peinture de paysage revisitée, faisant écho à un certain romantisme fin de siècle, mais déployant aussi une affinité toute contemporaine pour des compositions empreintes d’une grande profondeur psychologique. Cette exposition marque la cinquième collaboration de l’artiste avec David Zwirner. Elle fait suite à une exposition personnelle d’envergure présentée au Louisiana Museum d’Humlebæk au Danemark en 2021, et à un duo show Tal R & Mamma Andersson – About Hill, d’abord présenté au Kunsten Museum of Modern Art d’Aalborg au Danemark en 2022-2023 puis, en 2023–2024, au Malmö Konstmuseum en Suède et au Museum MORE à Gorssel aux Pays-Bas. Mamma Andersson a reçu le Prix de dessin de la Fondation d’art contemporain Daniel et Florence Guerlain en 2018.

About the Artist

Inspired by filmic imagery, theater sets, and period interiors, Karin Mamma Andersson’s compositions are often dreamlike and expressive. While stylistic references include turn-of-the-century Nordic figurative painting, folk art, and local or contemporary vernacular, her evocative use of pictorial space and her juxtapositions of thick paint and textured washes is uniquely her own. Her subject matter revolves around evocative, melancholic landscapes and nondescript, private interiors.
