Johan Lindeberg - Inspiring Women beyond borders
Welcome to a special exhibition with opening on May 1st in collaboration with The Photo Gallery in Halmstad, which represents the famous Swedish fashion designer and photographer Johan Lindeberg.
Johan Lindeberg is an icon in the fashion industry after a successful collaboration with jeans manufacturer Diesel and not least after the launch of his own brand J. Lindeberg. He took his first photos in 2011 and today he is an established name also as a photographer.
In this unique exhibition, Inspiring Women Beyond Borders, we get to see a series of images of our Swedish artist Loreen. Johan Lindeberg's photography is characterized by the same raw style as his clothing design. Often depicting dirty gritty cityscapes, with striking portraits taken with a sincere presence that reflects his unique perspective in our contemporary culture. Through his camera lens, he gives the viewer a chance to see the world as he sees it, combining fashion, art and street photography to create a compelling visual narrative.

Gabriel Isak - INTO THE BLUE
Gabriel Isak was born in 1990 in Huskvarna, Sweden. In 2016 he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California. His exhibition, Into the Blue, includes works from various collections that Gabriel Isak has created with a strong focus on the color blue. Here the camera has been used as a tool to create images filled with symbols and emotions in surrealist and minimalist landscapes.
The blue thread of the exhibition presents a calm and peaceful atmosphere, touching on themes of melancholy, existentialism, psychology and the dream world. In desolate landscapes with anonymous subjects, the viewer is invited to interact with them, where they can imagine themselves as the subjects, and reflect back on their own life journey and experiences.
