Simard Bilodeau Contemporary is excited to host a solo exhibition by Swedish artist Emma Larsson, titled If You Are a Dreamer, Come In.
Also known as @zebrakadebra with 110K followers on Instagram, it will be her first solo exhibition in the United States. The exhibition is composed of 10 of her praised watercolors. Each of her artworks are the abstract representations of wildflowers, each imprinted with Larsson’s distinctive artistic signature.
“I’m a tireless explorer. If I become too comfortable and feel I know too much of a subject, I get bored. What I am constantly seeking for, needs to be unknown to me. Creating my art is about playing and exploring freely. If I am asked to describe my work, I can only come up with words such as: liquid, energy, shapes, rhythms, playful, nature’s wonders, curiosity, contemplation, poetry, freedom, meaning, longing, intuition.”
Larsson’s watercolors, paintings, collages and sculptures are in constant flow. She describes her creative process as the synergy between the artist, the material and an unknown presence, that she calls “force”. She does not have an analytic personality. Emma’s paintings are purely intuitive, they source from pleasure and freedom. She starts with a blank paper and follow the flow. In her spare time, she walks in the virgin forests surrounding the city she lives in, Stockholm. She finds most of her inspiration in nature’s shapes, colors and patterns, leading to abstract and moving forms in her paintings.
Born in 1977, since her teenage years, Emma Larsson has had her own art studio. Even though she studied art, she did not do higher art education, so she considers herself self-taught. She dedicates herself to the creation of her Art full time.
Emma Larsson has been exhibited in Sweden, Denmark, UK, and now the USA. She has done numerous collaborations in different mediums with high-profiled brands such as H&M/COS, SOHO House London, Rahel Comey, Artpieces, ShowStudio (Nick Night and Bex Cassie), Martimore House London, Anamika Khanna and more. Larsson and her artworks have also been featured in Harper’s Bazaar Magazine, WeTransfer/WePresent, Woman’s Health Magazine USA, REVS Magazine, Chor Data Magazine USA and more.
