Contemporary Art & Design presents Lotta Hannerz
Lotta Hannerz Curiosity killed the cat
‘Curiosity killed the cat’ is the old English idiom that Lotta Hannerz employs as the title for her compelling artwork. Being curious can sometimes lead to misfortune, something the inquisitive man in the painting with his friendly mien will soon find out. A ‘cat’-astrophe awaits anyone who plans to get through that closed door. Look through the keyhole yourself, if you dare!
Lotta Hannerz was educated at Konstfack and the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. She has had several solo exhibitions, including 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, for example, at Moderna Museet, Malmö Konstmuseum and at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn.
