2-TIMES • Art
Camilla Engström,
‘Mantle’ @
König Galerie
— 

“Channeling
both the erotic
charge of Georgia
O’Keeffe and the
spiritual vigour
of fellow Swede,
Hilma af Klint...” 

Born: 
1989 — Örebro,
Sweden. 

Based: 
Los Angeles (CA),
United States. 

‘Mantle’: 
For her first solo
exhibition with
König, Engström 
has created five
new oil-on-canvas
paintings that
showcase her
characteristic trippy,
hallucinogenic palette
and voluptuous
curving forms in
sorbet-coloured
hues. 

“There is a warmth 
& quiet stillness 
in all of the works, 
reflecting Engström’s 
long-standing 
meditation practice. 
She refers to 
herself as a mostly 
self-taught artist, 
having previously 
studied fashion, 
making her way to 
the canvas mostly 
through drawing.”
