Anti-reflective framing – Mamma Andersson Pond (2019) - A1 format

Poster with anti-reflective framing of the work Pond, (2019), by the Swedish artist, Karin Mamma Andersson (b. 1962), which Louisiana presented in 2021 with the exhibition, Humdrum Days. The poster comes pre-framed with a matte laminated surface that significantly reduces reflections from light sources compared to ordinary glass and provides a beautiful, calm visual expression without glare. The frame is made of oak veneer.

Mamma Andersson stands as one of the most important painters of her generation, and Louisiana presented her for the first time on a large scale in Denmark. She builds her paintings on the basis of art historical references and found photographs, films, and historical clippings. It is painting on painting, images on images, as Andersson's works open up into a universe of suggestive and emotionally charged narratives in vast landscapes, interiors, and portraits:

The Nordic landscape with slopes, spruce forests, and the special, contrasting light. Dolls, often as a substitute for people, which give the painting a solidified, object-like character. People with their backs turned, whose averted faces make the image secretive. And the color black, often in several shades and materials, oversprayed or roughly applied, creating a striking darkness in the picture, a darkness the artist herself associates with death.
