Bella Rune and Alejandro Sintura presentation

Bella Rune and Alejandro Sintura will present their works in Galleri Magnus Karlsson booth at Market Art Fair on Saturday 17.5 at 4 PM

Statement from Galleri Magnus Karlsson:

“At Market Art Fair 2025 we are delighted to present a two person show with artists Bella Rune (Sweden, b. 1971) and Alejandro Sintura (Colombia, b. 2000). Although we see it as two solo presentations, we are interested in the meeting and collision of these very different artistic practices. Bella Rune’s three-dimensional sculptures occupying the space and Alejandro Sintura’s paintings installed on the surrounding walls. Both artists will show new works made for the fair.

In the installation, they approach each other in a curious dialogue. It is exciting to let two artists from different generations and cultures meet to explore differences and similarities in language and content. There is a point of contact in the use of colour, materiality and the relationship with tactility and abstraction. In their work you can also find common ideas about how the everyday and humble can be transformed into something important and monumental.

At the fair we also present a site-specific textile assemblage by Petra Lindholm at Market Extended.  The work is on display in the staircase of the Liljevalchs+ building. Petra Lindholm’s assemblages can initially be perceived as paintings, but are in fact made of textiles. She uses thin fabrics in different colours, that are applied in several layers with glue on panels. Lindholm strives for an existence where she embraces the random and spontaneity that arises in the process. The images grow organically as she adds new layers and physically processes the surfaces with her hand and knife. In the new work for Market Extended she has worked with a landscape motif, but she also has given the abstract and physical qualities more free rein.”
