Galerie Forsblom Stockholm Jarl Ingvarsson / Tuukka Tammisaari January 17–February 16, 2020
Opening in the presence of the artists Thursday January 16, at 5–7pm
Jarl Ingvarsson: FABRICAE
Ingvarsson’s artistic work stem from curiosity and an exploration of painting as a media, but also of the material that he works on. In the exhibition at Galerie Forsblom in Stockholm, Ingvarsson has painted on different kinds of textiles; sheets, fiber cloths, sun-blinds and more. Liberated from the traditional stretched and framed canvas, Ingvarsson’s paintings are unobstructed. With lightness he moves freely between figurative expressionism and abstraction.
Ingvarsson (b. 1955) has been exhibited extensively in museums and galleries. His works are represented in collections such as Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Borås Museum of Modern Art, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Malmö Art Museum, Sweden and in private collections. —
Tuukka Tammisaari: Ricochet
Tuukka Tammisaari’s paintings include references to art history, personal events, memories and observations of nature at large. With an assembly of naïve art, neo-expressionism and playfulness, the motifs and the mixing of color, are equally important in his artworks. The title of the exhibition ‘Ricochet’ is about immediacy, unintended effects and consequences.
Tammisaari’s work is represented in collections at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Helsinki, the Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands, and in private collections. The artist (b. 1984) is based in Helsinki, Finland.

60 years of tablecloths In 2020, Formex will mark 60 years as the Nordic region’s premier meeting place for the design industry. The big 60th anniversary will take place in August, but already the celebration starts with an exhibition about the table settting through the years – “6 decades of table settings”. A unique exhibition with porcelain that shows every decade’s typical style, curated by stylist Cecilia Tivar.
Unique guest exhibition Marabouparken Konsthall and Klippan merge under Formex and launch in a joint booth two plaques by textile designer Wanja Djanaieff. The booth also shows pictures of Wanja’s designs and a sneak peek of the art gallery’s upcoming exhibition “Wanja’s life” this summer. 78-year-old Wanja Djanaieff’s designer life has been more content than most. Her business has spanned a wide range – pattern design for industry, clothing design, crafts, textile art, design of exhibitions, theatre scenography, educational projects and material development. Wanja has researched new applications of textile raw materials and old craftsmanship, and not least she has been and is an artist, mentor, lecturer and a godly teacher.

One of Romania’s most wanted duos is in Stockholm for some nifty b2b action. COSMJN and LIZZ both pay careful attention to the craft of production and are accompanied by a slick style of track selection. When these two team up, it means some serious business on the floor. Better get ready for an intoxicating and trippy pilgrimage into the minimal void.
