Brita Granström: Full Fathom Five
After many years exhibiting individually at the Open Eye Gallery, this new exhibition brings Brita Granström, Mick Manning and Alex Malcolmson together to present a delightfully compatible combination of paintings, constructions and carvings, inspired by their own experiences of living with the sea in all its moods.
Brita Granström was born in Sweden in 1969 and graduated in 1994 from Konstfack in Stockholm. She has lived and worked in the UK since 1994 as both artist and illustrator. Her Nordic roots are evident in her paintings of wild, all-weather landscapes made around her seaside home. However Granström is also known for her depictions of delicious interior views and tender domestic moments drawn from her own everyday life that resonate with Intimism - the early 20th Century art movement epitomised by Vuillard and Bonnard.
As well as exhibiting at the Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh Brita exhibits with galleries in London and Aldeburgh. Her work can be found in private and public collections including The Ruth Borchard Collection and she has frequently appeared on both TV and radio.
