Stockholm

Cecilia Hillström Gallery was founded in 2012 in the gallery district at Hudiksvallsgatan in Stockholm.

Contact gallery

The gallery represents both well-established and emerging artists, who have been represented by the gallery throughout their careers. Having recently relocated to a larger space, Cecilia Hillström Gallery now presents parallel exhibitions at the gallery.

Gallery artists work in a variety of media; painting, photography, sculpture, video or interdisciplinary projects. A focus on the artistic process, strong contextual ambitions and inherent materiality are key components of the artists’ practice.

Featured artists

Linnea Rygaard

Known for her unmistakably painterly style and monumental expression, Linnea Rygaard gathers inspiration from architecture but also small details like ornaments or digital elements from a contemporary video game.

For Rygaard, the central perspective is key to the process of painting. In Rygaard's large-scale paintings, it contributes to an almost overwhelming experience. Breathtaking depth is put in contrast to roughly cutout symbols or shapes, lingering on the surface of the canvas. Rygaard uses an ambivalent scale in her paintings, playing with macro and micro perspectives, and highlighting the dissolution between various dimensions.

Linnea Rygaard (b. 1990) holds an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm (2016) and
attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, USA, in 2015. Rygaard received the Edstrand Foundation Scholarship in 2022. Public commissions include a sculptural installation in Jönköping, site-specific paintings for Stockholm City Council/Stockholm Konst in Rågsved, Uppsala Municipality, Gävle Municipality, and an
upcoming project of ceiling murals for Stockholm City Council/Stockholm Konst. Rygaard is represented in the collections of Uppsala Konstmuseum, Västerås Konstmuseum, Public Art Agency Sweden, Stockholm Konst, Region Uppsala, Region Dalarna, Region Gävleborg, Knivsta Municipality, Jönköping Municipality as well as several corporate and private collections.

Katja Larsson

In Katja Larsson's sculptural practice, transformation plays an important part. Materials, textures and colours of objects swap places and take new shapes in her process. The era of the Anthropocene and the interpretation of historical objects are important sources of inspiration and infuse her conceptual framework. With skilful use of materials, Katja Larsson brings forth new narratives with a language driven by visual and tangible means.

Katja Larsson (b. 1987) is a Swedish artist based in London. She graduated from The Slade School of Fine Art (MFA) in 2015 and received her BA in fine art photography from Glasgow School of Art. Larsson’s work has been exhibited at Malmö Konstmuseum, Borås Konstmuseum, Cecilia Hillström Gallery, Aicon Contemporary, New York, The Armory Show, New York, Abu Dhabi Art Fair, India Art Fair, New Delhi, CHART Art Fair, Copenhagen, the EIB Institute, Luxembourg, Chelsea Arts Club and UCL Art Museum, London, among others.
