Nordic Art Agency Podcast

A slight variation to the podcast as on this episode we discuss The Art Club, a collaboration between the Nordic Art Agency and The Torso, which launches this November. This unique partnership combines fine arts and fine dining in a symbiotic experience, displaying curated artworks on the walls of The Torso Restaurant, located by the iconic Turning Torso skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden.

Born out of a desire to share art and artistic experiences in unique location, The Art Club is an opportunity to discover contemporary international artists in a fine dinning setting.
On this episode Swedish creative concept entrepreneur and designer Max Paulsson Hall joins host Juliet to discuss the exclusive Art Club evening events at The Torso restaurant. Each curated art exhibition and event at The Torso is perfect for those passionate about high culture; offering an extraordinary blend of visual and culinary delights.

Art Club members receive a welcome drink, light bites, and a 10% discount on food and art during the entire exhibition. Places are limited to 40 guests at The Art Club for each event and reservations can be made through [email protected] or by following the event on Facebook.

The first Art Club event takes place on 26th of November between 17:00 - 19:00 and will feature Swedish Wildlife Painter Per Ekros. It will be held at The Torso in Västra Hamnen, Malmö, Sweden. Learn more about The Torso restaurant and follow them on Instagram.

In this podcast episode, we invite Clare to discuss the current body of work she is creating for Biodiversity a solo gallery exhibition which opens at the Nordic Art Agency in May 2020.

Our next podcast will be available on Friday, February 28th we will be in conversation with the incredibly talented British artist Jo Hummel. Jo has curated a gallery exhibition entitled Dear Painting, featuring eight abstract painters exclusively for the Nordic Art Agency, hopefully, you will join us then.

This episode features Eric Grech as the voice of French figurative artist Frédéric Blainmont. It is the first time we have experimented with our podcast guest being represented as an actor and the whole experience was quite interesting!

Frédéric Blainmont is an observer of the everyday characters who are found in the banalest of situations. Anonymous figures emerged through his painting as he remains curious about his contemporaries.

His paintings will allow you to leisurely criticise the supposed delinquencies, flaws, and inconsistencies found in society.  In contrast, the paintings feel smooth, almost delicately and restfully executed. The subdued pastel palettes, plain backgrounds, and monochromatic play make the figures almost feel poetic.

Frédéric paintings are profiles of accuracy, with a subtle dusting of condemnation. He captures men and women; exploring our relationships with bodies, with food, and the unavoidable issue of excess and overconsumption.

Find Frédéric Blainmont on Instagram and on the @nordicartagencypodcast where we have featured several of the works discussed in the podcast.

We are delighted to represent Frédéric Blainmont exclusively at the Nordic Art Agency and look forward to exhibiting a series of images at the Nordic Art Agency in our exhibition Interior Souls launching at the end of August 2021.

In this episode, we are in conversation with the young British figurative artist Molly Brocklehurst who is based in South London. Molly graduated with a Masters in Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Arts in 2019 winning the Wimbledon Alumni Professional Award and was a finalist in the 2020 Signature Art Prize.
She hit the British art scene in brilliant fashion last year being named as one of Saatchi Arts Rising Stars of 2019 and exhibiting in February 2020 in the Maddox Gallery in Mayfair, London.
We are all about supporting fresh, talented, international female artists at the Nordic Art Agency and Molly is an exciting artist to watch.
In the podcast, Molly discussed the historical and nostalgic utopia depictions explored in her work as she gives new life to images uncovered in old black and white photographs discovered in flea markets or antique fairs. Rituals and ceremonies, costume and theatre also play a role in her striking muted pastel-painted canvases.
We are currently featuring two of Molly's paintings in our HANSA LOVES ART International Art Pop Up until July 25th 2020. Both works, Intrusion and Colony, are featured in our current digital exhibition catalogue and on our website.

Molly’s painting has already been featured in the Wing’s Private Collection in London and we are delighted to represent her in Scandinavia exclusively. We will also be featuring new work later this year in our group exhibition FACES which will take place in the Nordic Art Agency Gallery in Malmö in October.
