Artist
Ann Edholm is a visual artist and printmaker, born in 1953 in Saltsjöbaden. He studied at Gerlesborgsskolan in Stockholm from 1970 through to 1980, and also studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm between 1981 and 1986. He was also a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Valand Academy in Gothenburg. They were awarded second prize at the Carnegie Art Award in 2011. Ann Edholm is one of the most interesting artists in Swedish modern art with her realistic abstractions. She paints geometric forms in stark colours with starting point in surface - color - chance - limitation - precision - transparency. The colourscheme in every composition is limited to a finite number of colours. Her works become eevated calm and a reverent silence. Her artworks remain untitled to avoid every connection with reality.
