New artist book: Elizabeth Thun, Målningar ][ Paintings

Published by Kalejdoskop förlag, 2024

"In her work, Elizabeth Thun links inner and outer landscapes. Thin layers of acrylic paint, carefully applied, create an atmosphere of calm and presence, an awareness and humility towards the existential pains of being. I would describe her gaze as soft. Based on her own photographs, Elizabeth Thun’s paintings reflect the Japanophilia of the 18th century, the Smålandian forest glade, the pond, the spiritual wanderings in the temple gardens, and the castle halls’ reflection of time and the history of ideas. A presence of transience, and the beauty therein." – Anna Norberg, Vandringar / Wanderings
