MICKE JOHANSSON & CHRISTIAN KOIVUMAA
From November 29 to December 7, Galleri Melefors presents an extraordinary exhibition that unites two exceptional artists. Master glassblower Micke Johansson showcases his groundbreaking ariel and graal techniques, incorporating unique and rare elements seldom seen in glassblowing. Alongside him, Christian Koivumaa’s brilliant watercolours capture the essence of Nordic light, taking the viewer from the historic streets of Stockholm to the majestic mountains of the north. Together, they embody the timeless beauty of contemporary craftsmanship.

BERTIL VALLIEN 60 YEARS AT KOSTA
ARTIST COLLECTION 2023
In 2023, Bertil Vallien celebrates 60 years at Kosta. To celebrate he has created an exclusive collection that reflects on his great artistic work. New pieces to the collection are planned to be released throughout the year.
Bertil Vallien is a Swedish glass designer and ceramist, a world-renowned artist with a huge record of accomplishment. Working primarily in glass, Vallien has developed a unique idiosyncratic style of sandcast glass sculptures, often depicting boats and heads.
BOATS OF DREAMS
Vallien's characteristic boats are filled with symbolic messages. The imagery of glass art invites the viewer on board a reflective journey in the tradition of Plutarch - "You never go down the same river twice".
PHILOSOPHICAL MASTERPIECES
Bertil Vallien's work Black Elements: House of Mystery is an exploration of the mystery of glass as a medium. Dreamlike and symbolic, the gold face floats towards the viewer even though it is fixed in the glass block. Discover the new artworks in Bertil's Artist Collection 2023 here.

STEFAN KAVSJÖ
LINKÖPING 21 OCT - 5 NOV 2022
Stefan Kavsjö paints landscapes in the moment of change. An abstract impressionism that emphasizes the feeling of a natural landscape with its enigmatic shifts without being directly descriptive.
"It's about depicting an inner landscape rather than depicting nature - like memory pictures from the moment when you stop in wonder. It's not really possible to touch or accurately reproduce and the images are an effort to recreate that feeling." - Stefan Kavsjö
