Castenfors makes this year its thirteenth vårsalong.
” Nah, no clear, fixed some of the staff think that it is more painting than in the past, it is possible. However, not so much the photo, video or digital works right now. But it is the spring salon, above all, shows each and every year is that anything is possible.

– But there is a slightly subdued tone in our dark country. There is snow, it is cold and you work with their own. It is something that recurs year after year. Up here in Scandinavia so we sit and joxar themselves, a bit introvert, ” says Castenfors and adds that he also believes that a lot of people participating in the spring salon have a similar social background.
– It is often middle class with some form of preparatory art education behind. It is where the pattern I would like to break.

among other things, the sharp blyertsporträttet ”Medkännaren” by Hanna Tamas, born in 1999, stately container ship in kiel canal, caught on the spot by the Stone-Yngve Johansson as Björn nordström’s precise image of women ”Somewhere…”.

“When people are a little melancholy as they are met here by strong colors and a little bit of crazy energy,” says konsthallschefen and nods with satisfaction towards the artist Bullevuttans ”Red sand” in acrylic. A humorous avklädning of Anders Zorn in just such a lush shrubbery as he placed his equally unclothed women in.
” I’m looking for is just energy and variety, a blend. In the jury we are looking for things that stand out from all the others, and then the young experiments from, for example, art schools to be amusing for the show something else.
