Belgium sculptor Sabine Allaeys [https://www.nordicartagency.com/allaeys] has created a series of minimalist limited edition wildlife sculptures cast in bronze entitled Awakening of Art .  The series has evolved over the past decade and these 'mini-monumental' works are beautifully smooth and enticingly tactile in their natural green, brown and black patinas. On this podcast episode host Juliet Rees is in-conversation with Allaeys discussing the inspiration behind the Awakening of Art series and her origins in art history, digital design and her reset embracing nature and the spiritual principals found in primitive art and objects. The Nordic Art Agency has recently signed Allaeys to the gallery and she will be in Sweden for her forthcoming solo exhibition SOULSONG which launches on April 4th 2025. [https://www.nordicartagency.com/events/allaeys-vernissage] The exhibition will be a presentation of a selection of her recent sculptures and will be available to view until May 24th 2025.

Podcast host and Nordic Art Agency [https://www.nordicartagency.com/] gallery Founder Juliet Rees is back with Season 6 a new season of art conversations. Laura Jane Scott [https://www.instagram.com/laura.jane.scott/?hl=en] is a British artist working in minimalist, geometric abstraction and colour-field painting.  Her desire for simplicity through geometric form and her striking use of colour enables her to produce work where painting explores a model of architectural form and where colour embodies a physical structure. The resulting work is a refined visual vocabulary of form and colour. The Nordic Art Agency opened a new gallery space in December of 2024 and Laura Jane Scott was one of two new international artists to feature in the current International Group exhibition. Six of her works are currently exhibited and all of them can be viewed on Laura Jane Scott's artist page [https://www.nordicartagency.com/laura-jane-scott]. Visit the new Nordic Art Agency gallery [https://www.nordicartagency.com/gallery]in our beautiful new location and meet Juliet and all her artists.  Follow the Nordic Art Agency on Instagram.

On this episode Juliet is in conversation with Swedish wildlife artist Per Ekros [https://www.nordicartagency.com/per-ekros].  Always fascinated by faces, expressions and bodies, animals are an intrinsic part of Per Ekros's life, and they form naturally and intuitively as the subject matter of his artworks. His heart lies within the animal kingdom and our consumption of their environments, which impacts him deeply and the psychology of this is a reflection of this. The podcast discusses his series of polar bear portraits from the 2021 series The King without a Kingdom [https://www.instagram.com/perekrosart/]and how Per captures emotional response through his selection of material and media.  His approach to a reductive painting style enables the characterisation of his chosen animal to be simplified within the composition which  provides an emotional intensity in his painting. Current works from the To The Ark series are exhibited at the Nordic Art Agency gallery during the Summer Exhibition and a solo exhibition [https://www.nordicartagency.com/exhibitions] of Per Ekros's painting will be held in the gallery from September 21st - November 16th 2024.
