Sigrid Sandström explores the relationship between the artist, artwork and the viewer, specifically where the focus of her work should lie. In her paintings, she explores site as concept as well as experience. Sandström’s large-scale, barren and uninhabited landscapes have gradually shifted and become more abstract over time. Failing to conform to specific categories of painting, her work continuously investigates the ontological conditions and limitations of the medium of painting. This indeterminacy forms a central role both in its investigative production and its relationship to the viewer.
Sigrid Sandström (b. 1970) is a painter and Professor of Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts / Uniarts Helsinki. She studied at Cooper Union School of Art, New York, NY (1995); earned a BFA at Academie Minerva, Groningen, The Netherlands (1997); attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME (2000); and received an MFA in Painting from Yale University, New Haven, CT (2001). Residencies, grants and fellowships include Brown Foundation Fellows Program at the Dora Maar House,Ménerbes, France (2018), The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts residency scholarship at Grez-sur-Loing, France (2014), The 2008 Painters and Sculptors Grant from the Joan Mitchell Foundation and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, New York (2008). Sandström was a recipient of a Core fellowship at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2001-2003).
Sandström’s work is in the public collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Houston, TX; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; Borås Konstmuseum, Borås, Sweden; Malmö konstmuseum, Malmö, Sweden; The Public art Agency, Sweden; Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, KS; Västerås konstmuseum, Västerås, Sweden, and Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT. Sandström lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.
Sandström’s, then, is a purposefully foxing art, equal parts calculated chess-play and generous doorway to the numinous. When she displays on a low-slung dais the painted cloths she uses to make her imprints, how are we supposed to receive them, to place them in some kind of formal hierarchy? They’re suspended at once between painting and sculpture, preserved object and valueless discard, abstraction and soiled rag; they also constitute her existing paintings’ partial negative. This insistent, rug-pulling dichotomous quality is redoubled by Sandström’s freestanding Janus paintings, in which back is front and vice versa. —Martin Herbert
“Event Horizon” at Berg Contemporary: A Conversation with Sigrid Sandström
"I think of my paintings as projection surfaces upon which we project our own agendas, and the many possible ways of approaching/viewing a painting is of great interest to me." —Sigrid Sandström
Sigrid’s paintings reveal ideas as pressures, nodes lying in contradiction to other forms of thought– ideas vs. things, ideas vs. experiences, ideas vs. sites– but never ideas as equivalent to the painting itself. Her paintings pithily reveal necessary intimacies and contingencies, in an organized allowance of smears, wipes, and stained fingerprints, a script that is both tactile and ideal written in an abstract language. —Artland
Grand Illusions: Landscapes drawn from inner spaces
More compelling is the way she [Sandström] layers larger monochromatic voids over other grounds to create the illusion of an absence of place - a nothingness that could either be receding or coming toward you. They're most dramatic on large paintings where they interrupt the lush, textural contrast of bold brush strokes in a transparent medium. —Molly Glentzer
The paintings are rigorous without being stuffy, casual without being sloppy and seem skeptical without being cynical. I get the sense that Sandström could invent much more within the formal and technical parameters of this body of work. —Joshua Fischer
"As a painter, I think time is in your favor. Experiences are only good, somehow. You become more confident in that you not only grow more skilled but more sure of yourself, inside, too. I have a kind of faith that, with time, I will find a solution." —Sigrid Sandström
As the works consistently teeter on the verge of abstraction, the interplay between a more traditional naturalism and geometric fragmentation provides a salient tension. Stately peaks occupying the upper half of one painting shatter into shards of white and blue, while elsewhere, an avalanche becomes as choppy and angular as scraps of discarded paper. —Naomi Fry
She Knows Where She’s Going: Sigrid Sandstrom’s work follows the fantastical landscapes of the mind
In this series, Sandstrom`s love of landscape is given freer rein. Here we see the roots of the romantic sensibility that, in the rest of her work, mediates between the hierarchies of those two poles of Western artistic tradition: classical perspective and the modernist grid. —Houston Press
