NATURAL IMPRESSIONS
The 64 artists from 22 different nationalities selected for this exhibition not only enrich our consensus on artistic expression and cultural perspective but also expand our understanding of nature and its representation in the arts. This reflective approach challenges established conventions, allowing for diverse interpretations and representations of the world. It awakens human consciousness to the source of inspiration that the capacity to imagine represents, encouraging the audience to reflect on their relationship with the world and recognize the importance of art as a profound connection with the intrinsic essence of humanity.

ELLEN DYNEBRINK
Gothenburg, Sweden
Ellen Dynebrink is a textile artist who
works with the technique of patchwork.
Her focus on patchwork stems from
her love for textile materials and her
interest in the relationship between
the textile field and women’s history.
Through her practice, she seeks to
explore values and preconceived
notions embedded in femininecoded
expressions and techniques.
Her work continually investigates
the gap between image production
and representation, as well as the
relationship between the viewer
and the image, raising questions
about subjectivity. Using digital
tools, she edits and converts photos
and sketches, which are later sewn
into patchwork. The combination of
digital distortions with the inherent
limitations and specific conditions
of the patchwork technique, along
with the characteristics of the textile
material, contributes to the aesthetic
outcome. This process offers a further
filtration of abstraction and allows
for alternative interpretations of the
patchwork image. Even the seemingly
monotonous process of cutting squares
apart and sewing them together forms
a central part of her artistic language
and expression. It serves as a kind of
meditation on the material and a way
to “participate in” or “lose oneself in”
the image.
