CFHILL

Small High Diver (1), 2026, is on view at @cfhillofficial until May 22.

⁠ ⁠ Anders Krisár⁠ Artist talk and book signing⁠ ⁠ Saturday, May 9, 2–4 PM⁠ Gallery opening hours 12–4 PM⁠ ⁠ CFHILL, Riddargatan 13⁠ ⁠ CFHILL warmly invites you to an artist talk and book signing with Anders Krisár, Saturday, May 9, 2–4 PM in connection with his current exhibition Father Figures at CFHILL. The afternoon opens with a conversation with the artist, offering a glimpse into his creative process. After the talk, Krisár will sign copies of the book Sculpture. The book is an in-depth survey of Anders Krisár’s sculptural work, presented in a beautifully crafted book designed by Henrik Nygren. It unfolds as a dialogue between his artistic practice and Cecilia Dupire’s insights into visual art, music, and her behavioral psychology research. We look forward to welcoming you.⁠ ⁠ Father Figures, an exhibition by Anders Krisár. The exhibition centers on a series of sculptures in polished steel and bronze depicting a young boy in three stages of a dive: standing at the edge of the diving platform, leaning forward with his gaze directed toward the water; suspended mid-air in a pike position; and seated at the pool’s edge in quiet reflection. High Diver (1–3), 2022–26, forms a multi-layered body of work exploring the narcissistic gaze, the discipline of mastery, and the existential weight of the decisive moment.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ @cfhillofficial @anderskrisarstudio #CFHILL⁠

Liselotte Watkins⁠ Edicola Rosa⁠ ⁠ April 23 – May 29⁠ ⁠ Lyndsey Ingram ⁠ 16 Bourdon Street⁠ London⁠ ⁠ CFHILL is excited to announce that our represented artist Liselotte Watkins is having her first solo exhibition in England at Lyndsey Ingram Gallery. This marks Watkins’ third installment of the Edicola, the first one was exhibited at CFHILL in spring 2025, followed by Edicola Due shown at Liljevalchs later that year. ⁠ ⁠ Much like the multifunctional edicola, Watkins’ paintings bring together a range of cultural references spanning from the domestic to the intellectual, all informed by her inquisitive interactions with the physical world around her. Watkins treats her paintings as research projects, drawing on imagery pulled from varied sources that she continually revisits throughout the creative process. Often rendered from an aerial perspective, her paintings use a flattened plane in which each motif is carefully arranged, balancing decorative beauty with conceptual tension.⁠ ⁠ @cfhillofficial @liselottewatkins @lyndsey_ingram ⁠

CFHILL is proud to announce the representation of Ylva Snöfrid. ⁠ ⁠ In 2017, Ylva performed a legendary transmutational ritual in Montpellier, uniting with her mirror twin Snöfrid and evolving into a new artistry under the name Ylva Snöfrid. Since then, this practice has grown into one of the most distinctive and uncompromising voices of its kind. This summer, Ylva Snöfrid takes over the entire Bergstenshuset at Liljevalchs with The House of the Muses, running June 21, 2026 – January 10, 2027. The historic venue transforms into a living work of art built around the nine muses and the four elements. Across thirteen rooms, painting, rituals, and various processes interact, dissolving the boundary between art and life. The exhibition includes a unique collaboration with the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm and director and actor Rebecka Hemse and actors from the ensemble. ⁠ "We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration around Ylva Snöfrid's expansive and everevolving practice. Together, we look forward to taking on new projects, growing alongside the work, and being a part of the constant evolution of this singular artistry."⁠ Michael Storåkers, CFHILL & Ylva Snöfrid⁠ ⁠ Ylva Snöfrid is also featured in a group exhibition at Börjesson Perotti in Paris this spring, as a counterpart to Hilma af Klint's major retrospective at the Grand Palais, in The Family – For Better and Worse at Sven-Harry's Art Museum, and in a special presentation of Pappa at the Gothenburg Museum of Art. Recent shows include the solo exhibition Cosmos & Vanitas at the Institut Suedois, Paris.⁠ Image 1: Ylva in front of "Enigma, The Last Judgement” 1996-2025 Photo Rodrigo Mallea Lira Image 2: ”Cosmos et Vanitas, the Jungfrau Spiral, an Exhibition Ritual for the Universe” Jungfrau 2024 Photo Rodrigo Mallea Lira Image 3: "Ylva Snöfrid’s Transmutation Ritual with Mirrored Spring, Snöfrid et Les contre espaces,” 2017 La Panacée,Montpellier.

⁠ CFHILL at Market Art Fair⁠ Mats Gustafson ⁠ Essentials ⁠ ⁠ April 24 – 26⁠ Magasin 9, Frihamnen, Booth 48 ⁠ ⁠ Opening hours ⁠ Friday April 24, 15.00 – 20.00⁠ Saturday April 25, 11.00 – 18.00⁠ Sunday April 26, 11.00 – 17.00⁠ ⁠ ⁠ As Market Art Fair celebrates its 20th anniversary, CFHILL is proud to present a solo exhibition of works by Mats Gustafson.⁠ ⁠ The presentation brings together two bodies of work that speak to Gustafson's singular command of form. Through a longstanding collaboration with Dior, he has rendered their collections in watercolour with an elegance and sensitivity that reaches well beyond the conventions of fashion illustration. He has depicted couture for houses including Hermès, Chanel, and recently Totême, with appearances in Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, establishing him as one of the defining voices in fashion illustration since the late 1970s. Expressive contours, striking contrasts and a captivating use of colour give his watercolours a timeless elegance that transcends the boundaries of fashion illustration.⁠ ⁠ Since the mid-1990s, Gustafson has turned the same precision and restraint toward the natural world. Swans, spruces, stones, and open landscapes are distilled to their essence through expressive contour and striking contrast, creating compositions that find stillness and clarity in complex forms. These works have earned significant institutional recognition, with exhibitions at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm and the British Museum in London, which has acquired his work for its permanent collection. Further works are held at Moderna Museet and the Nordic Watercolour Museum. Read the essay by Marcel Engdahl.⁠ ⁠ @cfhillofficial @CFHILL #matsgustafson⁠ ⁠

Opens today Anders Krisár⁠ Father Figures⁠ ⁠ April 17 – May 22⁠ CFHILL, Riddargatan 13 ⁠ ⁠ Tue–Fri 12–5 PM ⁠ Sat 12–4 PM ⁠ Mon–Sun Closed⁠ ⁠ CFHILL presents Father Figures, an exhibition by Anders Krisár. The exhibition centers on a series of sculptures in polished steel and bronze depicting a young boy in three stages of a dive: standing at the edge of the diving platform, leaning forward with his gaze directed toward the water; suspended mid-air in a pike position; and seated at the pool’s edge in quiet reflection. High Diver (1–3), 2022–26, forms a multi-layered body of work exploring the narcissistic gaze, the discipline of mastery, and the existential weight of the decisive moment. ⁠ ⁠ The series takes as its point of departure a historical photograph depicting Krisár’s father as a young diver in Budapest in the late 1950s. Captured mid-jump, the father’s body appears to hover in the air, frozen in a moment of complete control. By translating this archival image into sculpture, Krisár returns to a past that precedes his own existence, offering a glimpse of what he has inherited from his father. The figure becomes not only a biographical echo, but also a reflection on the traits, ambitions, and decisions that have shaped, and continue to shape, the artist’s life and practice. These themes are further developed in Room for Farewell (2024), a series of intimate drawings created while the artist sat beside his father in a farewell room at Södersjukhuset hospital. In approximately sixty drawings, thirty-six of which are included in the exhibition, Krisár renders his deceased father in a rapid, impressionistic style that recalls Monet’s haystacks as well as the father’s own painterly language, marked by expressionistic cross-hatching. ⁠ ⁠ Together, these works reflect an ongoing engagement with memory, the fleeting nature of time, and the relationship between sculpture, drawing, and remembrance. Each drawing evokes the presence of a loved one no longer living. Each dive and return to the surface mirrors a desire to preserve that memory, and each time, a new farewell. ⁠ ⁠ @cfhillofficial @anderskrisarstudio #CFHILL

High Diver (3), 2026 High Diver (1–3), 2022–26, is a sculptural series in polished steel and bronze depicting a youthful figure at three distinct moments of a dive: standing poised at the edge of a platform, peering down at the water; suspended mid-somersault in the air; and seated at the edge of the pool in reflection. Rich in layered meanings, the works evoke a narcissistic relationship with the self, the repetition and discipline required to excel at any endeavor, and the existential weight of the instant of decision.
