Featured Artists

This year's presentation

albertz benda will exhibit a focused suite of new paintings for Stockholm by Swedish–Gambian artist Rugiyatou Jallow, drawing on her childhood in Sweden to open a new chapter in her practice.

Born in Stockholm, Jallow centers Black and mixed-race women; in this body of work, she extends figuration through a foregrounded engagement with Swedish landscape. Materially, Jallow augments acrylic and oil with threads laid atop the canvas, dipped in wax, operating as circulating veins that map ancestral ties between body and ground. Her palette is deliberate: northern violets and greys balanced by measured pulses of carmine and ochre. Conceived specifically for this fair, the presentation is organized as a clear, cohesive environment that rewards close looking.
