Four You Gallery X Dynamisk
‘Blues’

“Hi! My name is Angeliki Kim Jonsson and I am the founder of Dynamisk.”

FYG: Tell us about Dynamisk?
AKJ: I founded DYNAMISK Independent Curating and Art advisory in 2018 and I work as an Independent Curator and Art Advisor on a multitude of curatorial and art advisory projects, studio visits, art talks, workshops and art tours. I also run a conversation series and I am currently co-writing my first book.

FYG: Why the name Dynamisk?
AKJ: As I am Swedish I wanted to highlight and celebrate that heritage, so Dynamic translated in to Swedish: Dynamisk: “characterized by constant change, activity or progress. Positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas: as a force that simulates change or progress. I think that reflects upon my curating!

FYG: How did you decide on the curatorial topic?
AKJ: I have been running a hashtag on Instagram called #Sundayblues and it started a summer three years ago in Italy. After an amazing summer it was now coming to an end. It was a mixture of feelings, sadness and happiness all at once. It was a feel good melancholy sort of vibe. That was what prompted me to this curating. To capsulate that sort of energy within the art pieces that are in this show.

FYG: Why did you decide to curate for Four You Gallery?
AKJ: I was approached by the gallery and I thought it was a great fit. As a gallery they are exclusively showcasing work by women artists and in their mission statement it says: there is an apparent lack in representation of female artists in galleries as well as the exclusion of women from the mainstream art market. Four You Gallery intend to provide a platform for the overlooked.
As a young woman working in the arts I felt this was something I could relate to, and definitely wanted to support and I am very honoured to curate the very first group show the gallery has hosted until date.

FYG: What inspires you?
AKJ: I would like to believe that I am very connected with my surrounding. Hence I find inspiration everywhere! In fact it’s been said that “I see art everywhere” I find inspiration from my peers, family, friends and my artists of course.

FYG: What is it in Berit works that you find the most intriguing?
AKJ: What I find intriguing with Berit’s work is the colours and the size. Even though her work is often across a large scale, it is not intimidating. It is abstract work that wants a conversation. It invites the viewer in. As I too am Scandinavian, I can really relate to the depth in her work and the colours, it really makes me think of the great blues we have up North.

FYG: Can you tell us more about Annabel’s paintings?
AKJ: Annabel finds inspiration both in history of art as well as from contemporary society. In fact her paintings is a mixture of both. As a reflection up on modern society where everything is about speed and over information her figures stops and the viewer gets a sense of softness, slowness and contemplation.

FYG: How did you come across Tilde’s artistic practice?
AKJ: I came across Tildes practice on social media. I love that it’s so hands on and Scandinavian. She has the most amazing ‘wood workshop’ where she works from that I would love to visit one day. I also love that the works she created for this exhibition found their inspiration in the blues music! If you have a closer look you will see it!

FYG: How did you meet Ania?
AKJ: I’ve only met Ania a while ago but I am really happy that I did and that I could include her work in this exhibition. I visited Ania when she was doing a residency in West London at The Fores Projects. I fell in love with her practice and the mood was just perfect for this show that I was about to curate.

FYG: Can you tell us more about Cho?
AKJ: Cho, Hui-Chin is a contemporary artist, best known for her figurative paintings and
sculptures. Cho lives and works between London and Paris. She graduated from
Slade and went on to do a degree at the Royal College of Art.
Over the years she has developed an multi artistic practice that includes disciplines
