___

Mamma Andersson builds her paintings on the basis of art historical references and found photographs, films and historical clippings. It is painting on painting, pictures on pictures as Andersson's works open up into a universe of suggestive and emotionally charged stories in vast landscapes, interiors and portraits:

The Nordic landscape with slopes, fir forests and the special, contrasting light. Dolls, often as a substitute for people, which gives the painting a solidified, object-like character. People with their backs turned, whose faces turned away make the picture mysterious. And the color black, often in several shades and materials, oversprayed or roughly applied so that a distinct darkness arises in the picture, a darkness the artist himself associates with death.

Louisiana's exhibition presented 60 Mamma Andersson works - including 10 new images, created especially for the exhibition.
