Bukowskis presents Lotta Hannerz at Contemporary Art & Design

› Executed 2014. Edition of 3. Patinated and painted bronze 180 x 60 x 60 cm. Estimate 60 000 – 80 000 SEK.

Hannerz works with paintings, objects, sculptures and installations. Everything bears the mark of a very personal expression, where the titles add yet another dimension to the experience of the works. Her palette is one of soft and inviting colours. Hannerz’s interiors are inhabited by her characteristic figures, including the balding man in a light-coloured shirt and the woman with round glasses (suspiciously similar to herself). During her time studying at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, Hannerz was a ‘Special Student’ to Erik Dietman, whose influence and inspiration can be seen in her work. Not least in the monumental piece Venu?, a large pointing hand that created quite a stir when it was placed in the middle of ‘Strömmen’ (the part of lake Mälaren that runs through the centre of Stockholm), right outside the Royal Palace, for a few months in 2004.

Lotta Hannerz was educated at Konstfack and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. She has had several solo exhibitions at Angelika Knäpper Gallery, Stockholm, and Galerie Claudine Papillon in Paris. When Nationalmuseum in Stockholm put on the exhibition of trompe l’oeil work The Deluded Eye – Five Centuries of Deception in 2008, Hannerz’s work was included. She is also represented in several prestigious collections, such as Moderna Museet, Malmö Konstmuseum and the Kunstmuseum in Bonn.
