La Folia is Oskar Korsár’s follow-up exhibition at Åmells after his successful debut last year with Reflections on Styx. The expressive power that characterizes Korsár’s art is fully present in this exhibition, whose concentrated content offers the viewer a guiding hand into a suggestive visual world of imagination and philosophy. La Folia consists of an entirely new collection of bronze sculptures and drawings, marking yet another significant contribution to our contemporary art program, Åmells Contemporary.
OskarKorsár’s singular artistry stands out as rare among contemporary artists. In his perceptive images, the viewer is invited to enter the captivating and mythical hue that has become his hallmark. The works shown in La Folia clearly bear the traces of Korsár’s strong and poetic visual language, as well as his inspirations—which this time are rooted in a time-honored musical theme. The central motif is the uplifting creative force that enables Korsár to pose questions about time and existence, creation and the cosmos—in bronze and wax crayon. Through these mediums, he channels his efforts into results that testify to deep knowledge and great talent.
