WELCOME TO ART & INNOVATION CITY, VÄSTERÅS

Västerås International Art Fair is born to build and establish a vibrant platform in our city and long-term relations with artists, galleries, art organizations, and collectors worldwide, through presenting high-quality and diversity of different media in an actual and virtual space which allows a large number of people to visit our fair and learn about what our city is offering.

We are always focused on presenting contemporary art on an international level and putting Västerås on the art map, we are working actively with artists, designers, art consultants, and galleries to create a unique and well-blended collection that we proudly offer to our collectors and visitors.

We are happy to represent well-established artists this year as Amador Montes, Steve Jensen, Francesca Falli, and at the same time opening the doors to many highly talented local and foreign artists.

Sneak peek at some of the  exhibitors joining us this year:

Amador Montes (1975, Oaxaca) is a well known Mexican artist.

In the creative process, continuous changes and evolutions are generated. The layers symbolize time, which is also a central theme of his work.His work has been appreciated and it is part of important public and private collections in Mexico, England, Spain, the United States, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries. His work has been exhibited in Mexico and internationally in Casa Lamm Gallery, the International Museum of the Baroque, the Santo Domingo Cultural Center, the Alfredo Ginocchio Gallery, the Stamp National Museum, the Casa del Risco Museum, Regional Museum of Guadalajara, Museum of the Oaxacan Painters, Art Museum of Queretaro, Fernando Garcia Ponce Museum – MACAY-,The United Nations Headquarters in New York City | Vatican City |, and Now His latest works are exhibited in Galleri SoHo Västerås

 

 

Steve Jensen has been a working artist for over 30 years. He comes from a long tradition of Norwegian fisherman and boat builders, growing up on his father’s fishing boat. His current body of work, “Båts”, explores the universal image of the boat.

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Foss Waterway Seaport Museum in Tacoma, WA. and Museum of Northwest Art in La Connor, WA., Vashon Center for the Arts, Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend, WA and Schack Art Center in Everett, WA. This work was
featured by Channel 9 “Art as Voyage: SteveJensen’s Nordic Heritage” by Stephen Hegg
Rebecca Charlez’s significant expression is monochrome and sculptural. The pieces are created with tactility and versatile textures in multiple layers. With cracks and marks from the hand that created them, She is letting the pieces emerge throughout the process, encouraging them to become their natural form.
The artist was born in Varberg on the Swedish west coast and started her artistic career in graphic design. She discovered art from a young age as her father worked at an art museum. Her artistic expression platform is cross-border, along with painting Rebecca works with both music and photography.

Letizia Prestipino is an Italian visual artist based in Milan. After spending her Education in Berlin, where she studied Fine Arts at Universität der Kunste Berlin, she graduated with a MA in Painting at Brera Academy in Milan, Italy where she currently lives and works. Her craving for painting lives in the gesture. The gesture takes shape in the concept of the body, which means also matter. A body that drinks light and fades in space. Those two elements are both researched in the work. Light is what allows vision and permits us to recognize different places and bodies in space, so light and body are spaceLight is what allows vision and permits us to recognize different places and bodies in space, so light and body in space.
