Brita Granström – The Night Swimmer

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Simon Lewin

We're looking forward to seeing Brita Granström's latest exhibition in Newcastle which runs until 31st October 2014.

For this exhibition, The Night Swimmer, Brita draws upon her Swedish roots to blur the boundary between observation and imagination, reality and dream. In a narrative sequence that opens with playful domestic studies and bedroom interiors she leads us at dusk, by way of farmyard and orchard, to a lake where women struggle with storm-blown washing, and a dark jetty awaits the night swimmer.

Brita’s paintings leave room for interpretation and imagination, allowing us to make up our own Midsummer night’s dream; however serene or haunting.

The exhibition runs until 31st October 2014 at University Gallery, Northumbria University, Sandyford Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST. Visit their website for further details.

Brita Granström and Mick Manning also collaborated on a contribution to our fundraising journal Random Spectacular No. 2.
