Andreas Eriksson

Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, the understated works of Andreas Eriksson shift between paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, and sculptures. Heavily influenced by his immediate locality, Eriksson lives in a forested bank of Lake Vänern, Sweden, with remnants and markers of this landscape populating his oeuvre. Organic forms such as leaves, stars and mountains reappear, abstracted, collaged, and often fragmented. The works are fragile in tone, laying testament to the intimacy between the artist and this landscape, whilst also speaking to the wider vulnerability of this oasis amidst contemporary planetary conditions. Eriksson cites Edvard Munch and Albert Oehlen as key references, which is readily tangible in the poetic sensibility of his work. ...

Founded in 1926 by Christian Zervos at 14, rue du Dragon in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Cahiers d’Art encompasses a publishing house, a gallery, and a revue. The Cahiers d’Art Revue was entirely unique when it was introduced, and it still is: a revue of contemporary art defined by its combination of striking typography and layout, abundant photography, and juxtaposition of ancient and modern art. Between the 1920s and the mid-1970s, Cahiers d’Art published ninety-seven issues of the Revue and more than fifty books on fine art and architecture, as well as the thirty-three volume catalogue raisonné of Pablo Picasso. After its acquisition and relaunch in 2012 by Staffan Ahrenberg, an editorial board comprised of Sam Keller, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Isabela Mora, and Staffan Ahrenberg was created. Cahiers d’Art has since published several new Revues and art books devoted to Ellsworth Kelly, Rosemarie Trockel, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Thomas Schütte, Gabriel Orozco, Joan Miró, Lucas Arruda, Ai Weiwei, Arthur Jafa, Frank Gehry, Christo, and others. From the 1920s till today, Cahiers d’Art has maintained a gallery, exhibiting the artists it publishes. Cahiers d’Art continues to fulfill its mission to be the cultural bridge between the avant-garde of Picasso, Duchamp, and Le Corbusier, and the leading artists and architects of our time. ...
