Johan Wahlstrom
Blue paintings by Swedish-American artist Johan Wahlstrom explore connectivity through questioning and rendering one’s consciousness using various abstract forms. Through this series, he explores how we, as a society and as individuals, can break through our current blockages, activate our social imaginations, and make the world we live in a better place through our universal connectivity. Wahlstrom’s use of textures in this curated collection are illuminated through the artist’s bold choice of blue to express this connected force. Through soft organic forms, abstract faces, rugged textures, and flowy movements, there is a variety in his work, alluding to the many facets of our reality. His work is the result of his interaction with social and political changes and how these changes impact different communities, thus provoking a new reality. Wahlstrom lives and works in Jersey City. His works have been exhibited since 1998 across Europe and the USA in solo shows, and group shows with artists like Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Santiago Sierra, Erwin Olaf, Picasso, Salvador Dali, Jake & Dinos Chapman, and David Salle.
Dalila Pasotti
Dalila Pasotti's work expresses her inquiry into the physical laws governing the cosmos. Driven by a fascination with the unknown, her sculptures and drawings depict scientific phenomena while highlighting their underlying mystery. She uses a rigorous scientific approach to explore the relationship between space and time, their relative nature, and their complex effects on perception. Although these phenomena often occur beyond the limits of human perception, like the subconscious, they have profound effects on our everyday lives. Pasotti’s practice seeks to make this concrete, thus providing a way to both better understand reality and escape it.
Born and raised in Turin, Italy, Dalila Pasotti is a sculptor and a painter with a master’s degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Turin. She moved to New York to follow her passion for the arts. She initially worked as a jeweler, then perfected her formation in sculpture at the National Academy School of Fine Arts in New York, along with working with renowned sculptors. She possesses a passion for the unknown and nature, the incomprehensible, uncanny universe, astrophysics, and any form of art that amplifies these elements, making it into the core of her work and manifesto. She continues to study physics and astrophysics, attending lectures and being invited by researchers and professors to visit prestigious research institutions such as CERN in Geneva, IAS Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton, and NASA, and establishing collaborations with scientists. She currently lives and works in New York.
