Art exhibition: Christophe Dolhem 20 March, 2019 by Mette Von Schack From February 8th until April 24th we will be displaying the latest work of renowned photographer Christophe Dolhem in our lounge. The exhibition’s title on light and darkness is inspired by a quote from the father of analytical psychology Carl Gustav Jung. As the subject is photography, the title rounds up the photos in a highly concrete way; photography really means writing with light. It is the game between light and dark that causes the motive to emerge. “There is no light without shadow and no psychic wholeness without imperfection. To round itself out, life calls not for perfection but for completeness; and for this the “thorn in the flesh” is needed, the suffering of defects without which there is no progress and no ascent. – C. G. Jung The exhibition is shown in our Lounge 8 February – 24 April.
@Diplomat Abstrakt 4 April, 2018 by Mette Von Schack April 11 – April 15 We are proud to present Galleri Charlotte Lund’s exhibition @Diplomat Abstakt, by Patrik Aarnivaara and Marcus Eek, during Stockholm Art Week . Both of the artists grasp the concept of abstraction from different angles and in different materials. The result is paintings and sculptures expressing playfulness within sharp limits. Marcus Eek works with acrylic and oil, completely focused on abstract painting inspired by light, material and balance. Patrik Aarnivaara creates sculptures and works with photography and video. The new sculptures are made of plastic, brass and metal and the mind of measuring instruments. The exhibition is on view in our Lounge 11-15 April

Crossing views is not about the encounter between cultures, but represents the deconstruction of what is picturesque” – Chihiro Minato, Photographer and Art critic. The exhibition is on view in our Lounge until January 25th, 2018.
Wolfgang Lehmann 25 January, 2017 by Mette Von Schack February 9 – March 31 The exhibition, Landscape and Symmetry, displays the work created by Wolfgang Lehmann 2012-2017, and shows photographs from the artist’s fascination for landscapes, cities and his obsession with overlays.
