Galerie Maria Wettergren is delighted to present you the digital publication Nouvelle Vague. Scandinavian Art & Design 1999 - 2020, a richly illustrated survey of contemporary Scandinavian milestone works that have contributed to redefining the international art and design scene over the past twenty years. Among the twenty-one artists included are Mathias Bengtsson, Ilkka Suppanen, Astrid Krogh, Grethe Sørensen, Cecilie Bendixen, Rasmus Fenhann and Tora Urup, whose works range from the most advanced technology to those inspired by traditional craftsmanship in the fields of limited edition furniture design, textile art, sculpture and lighting. While with a radical departure, these contemporary artists maintain a strong connection to their cultural roots, with references to the DNA of Scandinavian design. Their interdisciplinary research into possible expressions related to various materials and techniques seem to echo the Bauhaus school and the thinking of Walter Gropius: Architects, painters, sculptors, we must all return to crafts! For there is no such thing as “professional art”.
