World Citizen
In the same spirit as Basquiat, Warhol and Picasso, artists Lars Tunebo and Robert Hilmersson move with a curiosity about the present and its big questions. In their respective artistry, one can discern a common thread where questions are asked about what role we humans play in the world towards our fellow travelers - the beloved animals, world citizens in their own right.
We see motifs that often reflect animals in different, human environments: Animals in fine Canvases, an elephant in the middle of New York's bustling street life, or penguins challenging each other to a tennis match wearing matching outfits.
In typical pop art style, both artists question the modern, technological and commercial symbols that exist in our time and subtly place them next to the timeless creatures of the animal kingdom and the natural that has existed on Mother Earth since the beginning of time. This creates a contrast and a combination that is difficult to forget.
Something that can be seen in both artists is a desire and curiosity to explore technology and the newly developed tools of modern times. They are happy to float away on exciting ideas but at the same time always have their feet firmly on the ground with a firm foundation in the directness and human closeness of painting.
Welcome to a thought-provoking exhibition that offers both laughter and reflection!

Upcoming Exhibitions
Art is best experienced live. Openings are arranged at the gallery approximately once a month, all year round. Here you can experience a wide selection that alternates between contemporary art, where the artist himself is often present, and classic or modern collections.
