About the artworkEdith Hammar deftly draws dreamscapes where desire and longing for tenderness and belonging imbue the images with life and sensualism. Sharp contrasts and outlines without shadow are characteristic of her style, and we are invited into the most intimate spaces and situations: couples embracing in a tiled bathroom, sweating in a workshop or languidly playing with fire. Erotic and innocent at one and the same time. Gender nonconforming figures, tight belts, boots, leather trousers and jeans in line with queer aesthetics appear often in Hammar’s singular imagery, giving glimpses from invisible subcultures. Despite the seemingly brutal attributes, the images reveal a warm and considerate affection that radiates love.
