在四十多年的职业生涯中，您被誉为极具天赋的画家和绘图员。这些年来，您多次改变自己的创作风格。在创作生涯早期，您将当代主题与艺术史上的隐喻相结合；到了 20世纪80年代，您从流行文化汲取灵感。而您最近的作品似乎介于现实主义和超现实主义之间。
Forsblom开设的新画廊位于斯德哥尔摩Karlavägen 9号，并将于2017年对公众开放。画廊目前正在装修，我们非常期待明年年初为大家带来更多讯息。
您被视为芬兰最知名的当代艺术家之一，自1989年起您便不断丰富着芬兰艺术界的内涵。当年您以物体为主题创作的抒情画展现了您对细节的完美关注。实际上您的众多作品均以《物》为标题。

恭喜您当选为2016年芬兰年度青年艺术家！在日本待了两年后，您回芬兰的这一段时间工作强度可以说是非常高的。在这段时间里，您于Forsblom画廊举办了个人展览，参加了塞拉修斯博物馆约斯塔分馆的《原罪》展览，还代表芬兰参加了德国科隆国际艺术展的创新青年艺术家项目。作为2016年芬兰年度青年艺术家，您的作品即将在于坦佩雷艺术博物馆举办的个人展览中大放异彩。
A comprehensive retrospective showcasing the work of Carolus Enckell fills both floors of the Sara Hildén Art Museum this spring. The exhibition features Enckell’s paintings, drawings and three-dimensional works from the 1960s to the present day.
Carolus Enckell (b. 1945) ranks among the leading names in Finnish modern art. He is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades, including the Carnegie Art Award in 2001 and the Pro Finlandia Medal in 2009. Enckell is also a distinguished writer and art educator, having held long-term positions as dean and instructor at Helsinki’s Free Art School and as editor-in-chief of Taide, Finland’s leading art journal.
In his artistic practice Enckell carries on the legacy of modernism. His work is characterized by varied symmetries, contrasting opposites and gradations of hue and tone. His masterful command of geometrical form and color exudes a spiritual quality. The artist describes his approach as one of “pure experiential seeing”: His works are not intended to be interpreted and understood through acquired symbolic systems; rather they should be experienced on a sensory level. The artist further contends that only pure experientialism enables us to comprehend the true nature of color and form. Enckell’s works indeed encapsulate what painting is all about in its purest form.
彼得·哈雷正在圣巴巴拉美术馆举办展览《荒谬的几何：彼得·哈雷2007年至2015年新作》。
哈雷的艺术创作经常与极简主义和新几何观念主义相关联。他擅长用抽象的几何图案阐释强有力的社会政治理念，旨在揭示社会结构及个人于社会阶级中所处的位置。横平竖直的线条、长方形与正方形在他的作品中组成了栅栏、窗户等图案。
哈雷于1975年获得耶鲁大学的文学学士学位，并于1978年取得新奥尔良大学的美术硕士学位。他曾于哥伦比亚大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校以及视觉艺术学院任教。自2002年起，哈雷便于耶鲁大学艺术学院担任绘画与版画专业研究生院院长。他的作品被大型国际收藏机构收藏。
