Karin Hellman

Hellman often worked on the floor of her studio, cutting old fabrics, sewing, and gluing fragments together. Her art reflects a liberated and intuitive approach to the creative process. Her interests ranged from the myths of various cultures to the phenomena of the modern world and visions of the future. A recurring motif in her work is the spiral, symbolising the cycle of life and spiritual growth. In many of her works, Hellman’s anti-war sentiments are also evident. 

This extensive exhibition, featuring nearly 100 works, is the first major museum showcase of Karin Hellman’s art. The exhibition is primarily drawn from EMMAs collection.
