Anti-reflective framing Mamma Andersson The Day After (2020) - A0 format
Poster with anti-reflective framing of the work featuring the work The Day After (2020) by Swedish painter Karin Mamma Andersson (b. 1962), which Louisiana presented in 2021 with the exhibition Humdrum Days. The poster comes ready-framed with a matte laminated surface that significantly reduces reflections from light sources compared to regular glass, providing a beautiful, calm visual expression without glare. The frame is made of oak veneer. Mamma Andersson stands as one of the most significant painters of her generation, and Louisiana presented her for the first time on a large scale in Denmark. She constructs her paintings based on art historical references and found photographs, films, and historical clippings. It is painting upon painting, images upon images, as Andersson's works open up into a universe of suggestive and emotionally charged narratives in vast landscapes, interiors, and portraits: The Nordic landscape with slopes, spruce forests, and its unique, contrasting light. Dolls, often as substitutes for people, giving the painting a solidified, object-like character. Figures with their backs turned, whose averted faces make the image mysterious. And the color black, often in multiple shades and materials, oversprayed or roughly applied, creating a striking darkness in the image, a darkness the artist herself associates with death. Louisiana's exhibition presented 60 Mamma Andersson works - including 10 new paintings created specifically for the exhibition.
