.-Stephen Friedman Gallery is presenting an exhibition of new works by Swedish artists Mamma Andersson and Andreas Eriksson. The two-person show opened on Tuesday 6 July at 107 S-chanf, Switzerland and runs until Sunday 29 August. The presentation comprises paintings, tapestries and works on paper by two artists renowned for their fascination with landscape and nature.
On view for the first time are multi-panel works and several new oil and acrylic paintings by Andreas Eriksson. These works embrace what seem like contradictions, depicting at the same time a lightness and a heaviness, illusion and reality.

Each of the property’s marvellous rooms will focus on a theme; works by Jim Hodges, Ged Quinn and Yinka Shonibare explore transformation and historical narratives, while other spaces highlight the gallery’s affiliation with Latin America, and artists Mamma Andersson and Andreas Eriksson can be found in the ‘grand salon’ space on the first floor, contextualised by the surrounding architecture.
The exhibition is a nod towards the intrinsic link between the architecture of a space, and the design and art which fills it; something we have all undoubtedly become more aware of this past year, and no doubt have grown a greater appreciation for. “I’m pleased to collaborate with Modernity on a project in a spectacular historical building that explores two of my passions: art and design. During this time as we work mostly from home, we notice the dynamics between objects in our living space”, says Friedman.
