"Mia Westerlund Roosen: On Materials: Starting from the Seventies"
This exhibition brings together sculptures and paintings by Mia Westerlund Roosen spanning from the 1970s to the present, highlighting the artist's enduring exploration of materiality, the body, and life. Challenging the formal conventions established by Minimalism, Roosen embraces gesture, traces of the creative process, and the expressive qualities of materials to reconsider the possibilities of sculpture and painting, imbuing her works with an organic vitality. The exhibition features representative sculptures, significant paintings from the 1970s, and recent drawings. Through materials such as concrete, encaustic, pastel, and oil crayon, Roosen reveals the textures, energies, and sensory qualities of matter, reflecting her decades-long investigation into the relationship between material and the human experience.
