For Immediate Release 2018. 11. 20 Nordic Art Agency & Advisory Figurative Surrealism Exhibition Press@nordicartagency.com

Two Exclusive International Figurative Surrealist Artists Brought Together By The Nordic Art Agency In Sweden The Nordic Art Agency are delighted to collaborate with two unique figurative surrealist artists in an Art Exposé in Sweden this Autumn.

Vienna based artist Josef Florian Krichbaum and Pablo de Gortari from Mexico City, will be featured in a specially curated exhibition for the first time in the Nordics.

Nordic Art Agency Founder & Art Advisor Juliet Rees-Nilsson explains,

“The Nordic Art Agency collaborates with established and emerging international artists, who have not been represented before in Scandinavia and who we believe have a unique style and aesthetic in their artistry.

Never is this truer than when you enter the worlds of Josef Florian Krichbaum and Pablo de Gortari.”

Josef Florian Krichbaum b. 1974, Innsbruck, Tyrol Krichbaum is a rare contemporary artist who revives the technical elements of old master painting & orientates them in his own poetic world of tempting images & emotive peacefulness.

Geometry & subtle detailed perfection allows his work to feel restful yet evocative. The softly spoken lines and shadowy draftsman-ship of these whimsical otherworldly compositions are utterly delightful & elegantly crafted.

Today his work is featured in many national and private collections and has been exhibited in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

We are delighted to represent his work in the Nordics.

Pablo de Gortari b. 1980, Mexico City Originally from Mexico City, Pablo de Gortari moved to a new studio in Stockholm in 2018. He now works between Mexico City and Sweden, inspired by both cultures. By mixing skills from illustration, animation and fine art, his work combines the spontaneity of sketches with the delicacy of painting.

LEONOR ACRYLIC ON CANVAS

De Gortari focuses on female portraiture, showcasing the emotions and state of mind with each figurative work existing within their own unique narrative. Inspired

by Spanish portraiture from the 1600s Pablo brings his own unique surrealist contemporary interpretation.

MARIELA SKETCH ON ARCHES PAPER

Unfinished mixed media sketches of fantastical characters, capturing a smirk or a smile reflects the playful nature and escapism found in Pablo's work. His female subjects are flamboyant and feminine but not without attitude or assertion.
