    Allaeys - In Conversation

    Belgium sculptor Sabine Allaeys has created a series of minimalist limited edition wildlife sculptures cast in bronze entitled Awakening of Art .  The series has evolved over the past decade and these 'mini-monumental' works are beautifully smooth and enticingly tactile in their natural green, brown and black patinas.

    Laura Jane Scott - In Conversation

    Podcast host and Nordic Art Agency gallery Founder Juliet Rees is back with Season 6 a new season of art conversations. Laura Jane Scott is a British artist working in minimalist, geometric abstraction and colour-field painting.  Her desire for simplicity through geometric form and her striking use of colour enables her to produce work where painting explores a model of architectural form and where colour embodies a physical structure. The resulting work is a refined visual vocabulary of form and colour. The Nordic Art Agency opened a new gallery space in December of 2024 and Laura Jane Scott was one of two new international artists to feature in the current International Group exhibition. Six of her works are currently exhibited and all of them can be viewed on Laura Jane Scott's artist page. Visit the new Nordic Art Agency gallery in our beautiful new location and meet Juliet and all her artists.  Follow the Nordic Art Agency on Instagram.

    Per Ekros - In Conversation

    On this episode Juliet is in conversation with Swedish wildlife artist Per Ekros.  Always fascinated by faces, expressions and bodies, animals are an intrinsic part of Per Ekros's life, and they form naturally and intuitively as the subject matter of his artworks. His heart lies within the animal kingdom and our consumption of their environments, which impacts him deeply and the psychology of this is a reflection of this. The podcast discusses his series of polar bear portraits from the 2021 series The King without a Kingdom and how Per captures emotional response through his selection of material and media.  His approach to a reductive painting style enables the characterisation of his chosen animal to be simplified within the composition which  provides an emotional intensity in his painting. Current works from the To The Ark series are exhibited at the Nordic Art Agency gallery during the Summer Exhibition and a solo exhibition of Per Ekros's painting will be held in the gallery from September 21st - November 16th 2024.
