The diptych was first shown at Cecilia Edefalk’s debut exhibition at Galleri Thomas Wallner in Malmö in 1988. The show was widely admired and reviewed. The double portrait depicts a person looking at themselves in the mirror. Isn’t it brilliantly painted?! As Carl-Johan Malmberg wrote, “A woman contains a man, each being incorporating another, and this ‘other’ also carries images of a self”.
Cecilia Edefalk (b. 1954) is one of Sweden’s most important living artists. Edefalk works with painting, photography, sculpture and installation. Since the 1990s she has also been represented internationally.
