Bukowskis presents Karin Broos at Contemporary Art & Design
Karin Broos
”Resan”, 2008
Broos employs her own photographs as inspiration and aide-memories in what is a laborious artistic working process. It is a world inhabited by women that Broos depicts: women but also children and dogs frozen in time. Their faces are repeatedly turned away, their task is not to meet the viewer’s gaze, and their bodies are not reproduced in order to please an art audience. Broos’ models get to be themselves. Lost in thought, they seem relaxed and self-confident. The artist’s intimate relationship with the models undoubtedly plays a large part in this.
Karin Broos had a somewhat late-career breakthrough with an exhibition at Kristinehamns Konstmuseum in 2008, which was then followed by exhibitions at, amongst others, Borås Konstmuseum, Christian Larsen Gallery as well as Sven Harrys konstmusuem and Waldemarsudde in Stockholm. A major retrospective exhibition of her work has also toured the USA.
