Niklas Eneblom | Full Moon Party
Galleri Magnus Karlsson is pleased to present Niklas Eneblom fifth solo exhibition at the gallery.
Niklas Eneblom navigates freely between his own and other's memories and experiences in his pursuit of stories to tell. Enebloms works has often been described as taken from a road movie. The movie aspect is strengthened by the proportions of the paintings (they are similar to 16:9 or the letter-box-format) and the frozen moments portrayed. Here, the journey goes to unknown and known places, in present time, past and future. In the big painting entitled 'FULL MOON PARTY' fragments of events are embreaded around the panel outer edges like a frieze. Everything takes place under the ubiquitous full moon.
Susanne Slöör wrote at www.omkonst.com about Niklas Enebloms latest exhibition at the gallery, 2006:
"...The romantic coloured critic about the balance between welfare and ruin is obvious. The spectator puts himself into a lonely rambler's position, one of the cult characters of our times, not least as a pop-culture-phenomenon within music and movies. You are more or less forced to willingly integrate the raw and wide landscape with human segments like motorways, road lightings, radio towers and lonely abandoned trees to an existential position. The fascination for antagonisms like closeness and distance, details and overview penetrates Eneblom's paintings. It is when you are at close range to his miniature paintings that you are being thrown out into the wide, without being sure that your own perspective widens at a safe distance..."
