Exhibition at Foundry.
Ric is a contemporary, figurative and abstract artist with over 20 years of international exhibitions and commissions under his belt. Originally from Sweden, he has a B.F.A. in Illustration from Savannah College of Art And Design and has lived over 15 years in Luxembourg and USA while studying. He works primarily on unstretched canvas, uses acrylic, spray paint, markers and other mixed media, always experimenting with materials to see reactions and create accidents.
Ric draws deep inspiration from both the music he listens to and the music he creates, with his studio— doubling as his living room—constantly filled with sounds that drive his artistic process. The music he listens to is not just an ambient backdrop but an essential part of his creative flow, with the 90s dominating his playlist, though occasional tracks from the 00s make an appearance.
Words and poetry play a crucial role in Ric’s art. He incorporates text into his pieces, reflecting his current mood, the subject matter, or whatever happens to be on his mind at the moment. Some of these words reveal their meaning as the artwork takes shape, while others remain deliberately enigmatic, left to speak for themselves. Ric’s journey as an artist is ever-evolving, with his best work undoubtedly still ahead of him.
We also have the pleasure of working with Oksana Polyanska and her incredibly talented network of artists in the building’s first floor.
For this time, we have the pleasure of working with Edward Welter, an outstanding artist with the objective of evoking a rainbow of feelings.
We invite you to his Vernissage on 08.06.23, at 6pm, in Foundry's First Floor
When conceptualizing ARTSCAPE Contemporary Art Luxembourg in June 2015, the founders Christine Kieffer (business manager) and Stefanie Zutter (art historian) envisaged a first market gallery that puts artists first and contributes to the local community by organizing monographic and group exhibitions in a variety of public spaces without a permanent residence. “The nomadic way of working allows us to break down some of the barriers between the gallery and the outside world,” say the founders.
From the very beginning, the founders focused on establishing strong connections with the Luxembourg art and business worlds. For their first project, they invited French-German artist Susanne Strassmann to a two-week performance during which she painted a series of portraits on site in Luxembourgish companies. These commissions, originating in the world of business, combined with paintings from the artists’ studio, formed the People/Identities solo show in a high-profile business club in the Luxemburgish old city.
A call for artists!
Foundry’s ground floor hosts a rotating art exhibition provided by international and local artists.
Every 3-4 months, a new artist joins us to portray their art on our walls. We are very lucky to have worked and work with such talented people who are looking forward to bringing the pop of color to Foundry.
