Jenny Carlsson Grip’s paintings move in an underwood. They describe dense vegetation, where rapid and fiery – but meticulously placed – brushstrokes form twigs, tufts, and thickets. With intuition and composition, she uses a swarm of picturesque events to construct a dissolved order. Balance and rhythm, there encounter contrarieties and crosscurrents. The paintings’ sprawling lines of color form glimmering veins barely perceptible in the earthy darkness. The thick, saturated colors drip with cool dampness and steamy, fertile soil. The paintings alternately describe matter and air, space and dust. Side by side with the dim darkness – where varied shades of brown, yellow, black, and greyish blue descend as a pattern of camouflage – lies shimmering, beautifully lit fragments. 

 

Jenny Carlsson Grip graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in 2013 from Umeå Academy of Fine Arts. Her works have been exhibited at Kalmar Art Museum, Umeå Art Museum, and Malmö Konsthall. They are also included in the collections of Aalto University (Finland), TIA (USA), and various private and public Swedish collections.
