Current exhibitions

"The World of Mattias Adolfsson", 31 January—24 May 2026.

Mattias Adolfsson (b. 1965) is a Swedish illustrator and artist based in Sigtuna. After more than ten years in the video game industry, he changed direction and began working with analogue illustration. Today, Adolfsson is internationally renowned for his imaginative and highly detailed drawings and sketchbooks. His visual worlds—often populated by strange robots, animals, and architectural dreamscapes—combine humor and absurdity with references to popular culture.

Adolfsson’s work has been published in magazines such as Wired and The New York Times, and he has collaborated with major animation studios including Disney and Warner Bros. Over the years, he has received several awards, among them Best Album Cover at the Heavy Music Awards and Best Book Design from Svensk Bokkonst. In spring 2025, Adolfsson undertook an extensive signing tour in Japan, where he is regarded almost as a rock star.

The exhibition presents a selection of his renowned sketchbooks alongside many other drawings—both personal works and commissioned pieces. His assignments range from editorial illustrations and puzzles to album covers, with clients including Amnesty, Atelier Choux Paris, and the Norwegian State Railways.

Lena Furberg, 13 June–13 September 2026

Lena Furberg (born 1957 in Skellefteå) is a Swedish artist and illustrator, widely known for her vivid and richly detailed depictions of horses. Her artistic practice combines technical mastery with a deep understanding of animal movement and expression, and she is regarded today as one of the world’s foremost horse illustrators. Furberg is best known for the comic series about the pony Mulle, published in the Swedish magazine Min Häst (My Horse), which has made generations of young readers both laugh and recognize themselves.

Furberg’s visual world moves between humour and realism, between everyday life and fantasy. Her drawings reveal a genuine love of animals and nature, as well as a strong sense of storytelling. In addition to her well-known horse series, she has created illustrations for books, posters and magazines.

For more than five decades, Lena Furberg has inspired both readers and fellow artists with her craftsmanship and her unique ability to capture the essence of horses. Her work has become an integral part of Sweden’s visual heritage – a blend of everyday joy, skilled craftsmanship and quiet humour that continues to fascinate new generations.
