Company Gallery now represents Sixten Sandra Österberg. Österberg challenges established notions of artistic value and perception in painterly compositions that hover between everyday life and visual fantasy. Österberg’s paintings maneuver through realistic and imaginative and between high art and kitsch. Seamlessly blending realistic depictions with bursts of abstract expressionism, she incorporates both classical and contemporary imagery and motifs inspired from her own social context. The artist’s use of color and technique creates an image world that is both lucid and inscrutable and it is through this approach that she is able to to capture visceral situations and fleeting sensations.

Österberg’s recent solo exhibitions include Familiar Openings at Company Gallery, New York (2024); Time of Nothingness; Everything Happens at Andréhn-Schiptjenko, Stockholm (2023); Rörelser at Konstnärshuset, Stockholm (2021), and Förlorad form at CFHILL, Stockholm (2021), as well as group exhibitions at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; Improper Walls, Vienna; and Accelerator, Stockholm. Österberg was born in 1990 in Stockholm, Sweden where she currently lives and works.
