The sculptures fill the Solliden Palace Park
The annual sculpture exhibition at Solliden Palace park has been inaugurated. Until the end of Öland's harvest festival on September 29, visitors, in addition to being able to enjoy nature in the park, will also be able to view works by some of Sweden's foremost contemporary artists.
It is the eleventh time that Barbro and Börge Kamras curate a sculpture exhibition in the Palace park.
After more than four hundred exhibitions with over two hundred artists, the Kamras couple have created a broad social network within the art world. Many of the twelve participating artists have had contact with and exhibited before, both once and twice. In the Palace park, they have selected a mixture of older and newly produced items. The oldest work, sculptor Asmund Arles Häst, who rolls, is from the 1960s. Some of the artists are pure sculptors, others have traveled between different artistic expressions and alternated between painting and sculpture.
There are three very new works in the exhibition. Peter Frie participates with the two meter high sculpture Lotus. Newly-born Markus Åkesson has contributed with a bronze sculpture, as has Ellen Ehk Åkesson, who previously exhibited at the sculpture exhibition in the castle park 2017.
Barbro says that it is a pleasure for her and Börge to design an exhibition outdoors in the free nature; that they like to sometimes be in a different environment than a gallery or art hall with white walls.
- Maybe it is nature that is the original medium of the sculpture, she says. - Nature breaks and lifts. It adds another dimension to art.
