Gunnel Wåhlstrand is celebrated for her large-scale ink wash paintings, in which memories, people, and landscapes are rendered with near-photorealistic precision, imbued with remarkable presence and sensitivity. Often drawing on images from her family photo albums, she engages in a subtle dialogue with her own history, while reflecting on the passage of time and the human condition. Through her meticulous, meditative technique, Wåhlstrand explores themes of identity, memory, and loss.
The exhibition at Prince Eugens Waldemarsudde offers an in-depth look at Wåhlstrand’s artistic practice, presenting both early works and entirely new paintings that have never been exhibited before. Visitors are invited to experience the poetic interplay of light and shadow, presence and absence, that defines her ink wash paintings.
The catalogue is richly illustrated and features an essay by art critic and dramaturge Tor Billgren, alongside a conversation between Gunnel Wåhlstrand and the artist Ulla Wiggen.
