SETAREH is pleased to present the third solo show by Stockholm based artist Jim Thorell "Durian in a drainpipe".
Although it may be true that we live in disenchanted times, the hypnagogic visions of romanticism persist. It’s a fact evidenced with nuanced impact in Jim Thorell’s new paintings, wherein the sublime still blooms, in tension with finely-tuned semiotic and stylistic moves. The latter locate the work in the contemporary, emphasising the painter’s keen attention to the condition and ongoing relevance of wonder itself.
