In the exhibition invisibilis\, his lifelong artistry alongside many new works are presented. \n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is considered one of the world’s finest in depicting birds and nature\, a genre with a long-standing tradition in art history. The influence from Bruno Liljefors is particularly evident\, who exhibited in the very same halls of Liljevalchs\, in the art gallery’s first exhibition in 1916. In the 1970s\, Lars Jonsson became known internationally as an ornithologist for his handbook about the birds of Sweden. \n\n\n\nWith his deep knowledge\, unique perception and technical skills\, Lars Jonsson has revolutionized bird painting. In his paintings\, the birds’ appearance and the close connection to their habitats are captured\, but the images also reach deeper\, into their characters and inner lives. In the exhibition\, we are invited to follow the artists’ creative process\, from sketch to completed painting. In the poetic depictions\, we perceive something that on the surface seems hidden\, but that is made visible by Lars’ ability to identify with the personality and soul of the birds. \n\n\n\nWhen I\, for the first time this year\, point the monocular to the couple of eiders in the graygreen water\, calmly swimming in from the shores\, it’s that same feeling and perception of something that needs to be captured\, read and eternalized. In the exact moment that I see the scene\, my head paints what my retina perceives – the combination of graygreen\, pink\, the white that shifts to shades of peach\, mango\, lemon peel\, vanilla and the edges as black as dry liquorice\, and slowly\, the waves wander in toward the beach. The wonder takes place here and now\, says Lars Jonsson\, artist. \n\n\n\nThe curator of the exhibition is Emil Ivedal. \n\n\n\nImage: Septemberskymning (Common snipe)\, watercolour\, 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Opens June 13th \n\n\n\n Visitors info \n\n\n\n Book a guided tour \n\n\n\n Main building URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/lars-jonsson-invisibilis/ LOCATION:Liljevalchs Bergstenshuset\, Djurgårdsvägen 60\, Stockholm\, 11521\, Sverige CATEGORIES:Children & Youth,Guided tours,Konstsamling,Skola ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/septemberskymning-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250614T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251012T235959 DTSTAMP:20260526T065706 CREATED:20250819T094239Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250902T110518Z UID:10000231-1749859200-1760313599@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Art Lab: Birds DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Liljevalchs’ artist-led creative workshop\, where we are currently exploring the theme of birds\, inspired by Lars Jonsson’s exhibition invisibilis. \n\n\n\nLars Jonsson is Sweden’s most renowned painter of birds and nature.

At the centre of the exhibition Edicola Due – for Liljevalchs is a hexagonal chapel made up of 36 assembled paintings\, forming a space rich with symbolism. \n\n\n\nLiselotte Watkins weaves together art history\, philosophy\, activism\, and popular culture with a personal imprint. Utilising an explicitly analogue and tactile method\, she creates works in which every detail carries meaning – drawn from real-life encounters\, books\, printed materials\, and physical environments rather than digital sources. In Edicola Due – for Liljevalchs\, references can be found to artists and figures such as David Hockney\, Carla Lonzi\, and Carla Accardi\, Donatello’s David\, Dante and Marie Laure de Decker\, as well as contemporary symbols like the Nike logo. \n\n\n\nIn connection with the exhibition\, a special publication has been produced for Liljevalchs\, in collaboration between Liselotte Watkins and Helene Fuchs. The paper contains newly written texts on topics ranging from one of Cleopatra Pia Tolomei’s last relatives\, to camel libraries\, Don Quixote\, and a story about how young girls were rescued from Kabul. \n\n\n\nThe title Edicola Due refers both to the small kiosks that once characterised cities like Rome and to the miniature chapels still found throughout Italian villages. Watkins\, who now lives in Tuscany\, draws inspiration from the Italian cultural environment and her overflowing studio cosmos – where books\, images\, and fragments become visual narratives. \n\n\n\n\n–Edicola Due is a kind of requiem for my love of the newsstand\, that place that was always part of the streetscape but is now disappearing. I still remember the feeling of seeing my illustration in The New York Times for the first time. It was magical. That feeling\, that presence\, is what I want to preserve in Edicola Due\, says Liselotte Watkins. \n\n\n\n\nWatkins broke through internationally as a fashion illustrator in the late 1990s with commissioners such as Prada\, Vogue\, Elle\, and The New Yorker. Over the past decade\, she has fully devoted herself to her independent art practice\, creating a unique visual language where the female body\, symbolism\, and everyday objects gain new meanings. \n\n\n\nCurator for the exhibition is Joanna Sandell Wright. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Opens September 5th \n\n\n\n Visit us \n\n\n\n Main building URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/liselotte-watkins-edicola-due/ LOCATION:Liljevalchs Bergstenshuset\, Djurgårdsvägen 60\, Stockholm\, 11521\, Sverige CATEGORIES:Children & Youth,Guided tours,Skola ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Watkins-0238-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20251121T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260111T235959 DTSTAMP:20260526T065706 CREATED:20251105T143950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251110T134422Z UID:10000255-1763683200-1768175999@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Stockholm Cosmologies DESCRIPTION:Stockholms kosmologierStockholm Cosmologies\n21 November 2025–11 January 2026 \nStockholms kosmologierStockholm Cosmologies\n21 November 2025–11 January 2026 \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is a group exhibition that focuses on the international and cosmopolitan nature of the city’s contemporary art scene. The exhibition brings together fifteen artists working across various media such as video\, performance\, installation\, sculpture\, painting\, and textiles. \n\n\n\nIn the second part of the curatorial project that began with Stockholm Cosmology (2024)\, Liljevalchs continues its survey of the Swedish art scene by considering various contact zones—in this iteration\, turning its gaze further afield. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies represents a constellation of relations across geographies and temporalities. These contact zones are historic as well as temporary—in some cases fleeting\, in others sustained through memory\, and often overlapping. One contact zone stems from the diplomatic relations between Sweden and the South African government in exile during the 1970s and 1980s\, a relationship rooted in solidarity and kinship. \n\n\n\nHowever\, the exhibition resists the framing of an historic set of relations. Other considerations are the lived lives of artists and the liminal aspects of being situated in-between two geographies. The practice of South African-born artist Lefifi Tladi\, and his life of exile\, existing between Sweden and South Africa\, is a departure point for the curatorial journey. Queerness is a zone of contact\, as are the legacies of Dutch colonial violence\, linking artists from the southern tip of Africa to the Carribbean\, and returning to Sweden. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies leans into the notion of ‘parallel aesthetics’—an articulation by the late Koyo Kouoh\, in the framing of the exhibition When We See Us (currently on view at Liljevalchs+). These two exhibitions also form a contact zone\, in the physical connection between the  two buildings of Liljavalchs—one more than a century old\, at this moment holding contemporary artists; the other\, a contemporary building holding a century of painting. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is the result of dialogues between two curators and their networks and relations\, their respective worlds brought into a zone of contact\, contained for the duration of the exhibition within the walls of Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\nAll of the fifteen participating artists are active in multiple geographies—spanning Scandinavia\, Africa\, and its diaspora. Together\, they form a spectrum of experiences that spans generations\, materials\, and geographies. The exhibition includes emerging artists as well as those who have been active for a longer time. Several of the works were made in 2025 and many of them are site-specific\, produced especially for Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies takes as its starting point the concept of cosmology\, not in its scientific sense\, but rather as a poetic and political model for how artists relate to the world\, time\, place\, material\, and to one another. A cosmology can be seen as a worldview\, an inner map or an artistic orientation. In speaking of cosmologies in the plural\, the exhibition seeks to illuminate the myriad expressions that take place in artists’ studios\, as well as the unexpected parallels\, ruptures\, and reflections that can arise between artists who have neither met nor heard of each other\, and who work on different continents. \n\n\n\nStockholm Cosmologies is not an attempt to define the Swedish art scene but rather to offer a multifaceted and relational picture of what is going on within it right now. It is a proposal to see it as something open\, contradictory\, and in constant change—yet globally intertwined. A place where artistic cosmologies and aesthetics co-exist\, collide\, mirror each other and\, sometimes\, unfold in parallel. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features the artists Filippa Arrias\, Igshaan Adams\, Karim Boumjimar\, Loulou Cherinet\, Theresa Traore Dahlberg\, Garth Erasmus\, Sara-Vide Ericson\, Salad Hilowle\, Bronwyn Katz\, Kitso Lynn Lelliott\, Kayo Mpoyi\, Pia Sandström\, Inga Somdyala\, Ylva Snöfrid and Lefifi Tladi. \n\n\n\n\n\n Opens 21 November \n\n Visitor info \n\n Book a guided tour \n\n Liljevalchs\, Djurgårdsvägen 60 URL:https://liljevalchs.se/kalender/stockholm-cosmologies/ CATEGORIES:Children & Youth,Guided tours,Konstsamling ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://liljevalchs.se/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SC_HERO-IMAGE_purple_3200x2400-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260516T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260516T150000 DTSTAMP:20260526T065706 CREATED:20260410T074936Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260507T084142Z UID:10000298-1778936400-1778943600@liljevalchs.se SUMMARY:Children's Workshop and Reading DESCRIPTION:Join illustrator and author Andrea Pippins for a special reading from Maya’s World (written and illustrated by Pippins)\, a vibrant story that celebrates self-expression and imagination. \n\n\n\nMaya’s World is perfect for any young artist who sees the world in different and interesting ways and encourages readers to explore their creativity and share their ideas with pride. \n\n\n\nFollowing the reading\, Andrea will lead a workshop where children create a collaborative drawing inspired by nature.
