“EvaMarie Lindahl receives the award for her exceptionally elaborate draughtsmanship that creates an exuberant and teeming imagery where present and past meet. Depicting tableaux where the past is powerfully present, EvaMarie Lindahl’s works are executed with remarkable precision. The drawings form series in which history is reformulated according to the artist’s singular desire to bridge the gap between then and now. Her point of departure is often existent images, which are given new meaning and a new life through a process of ‘redrawing’. Lindahl’s sampling also comprises the language of power, and her images of vermin echo the metaphors of the rhetoric of genocide, which provides her drawings with a Cimmerian quality.”

The Grant Committee’s statement is by Niclas Östlind, jury member and Senior Curator.
