Marie-Louise Ekman is without doubt one of the most unique artists in Swedish contemporary art. The consistency of her expression is remarkable, with a distinctive language that is unmistakably her own.
Marie-Louise Ekman's art is timeless and constantly relevant. She is an influential and style-forming artist who likes to portray everyday environments, but does not hesitate to mix the absurd and surreal into the picture. She moves effortlessly across borders and likes to use art historical references and mix them with her personal, popular culture elements.
In a series of paintings, Olle Baertling's compositions have been used as a background in each picture. In the auction's painting 'Spegeldam', another artist contributes to the composition. In the right-hand side of the picture, a furry lady (the mirror lady) looks at a typical Lucio Fontana cut from a distance.
