Sofia Bjurström’s charcoal drawings move. They test the limits of time, of dance, of some Gilded Age in a distant past or distant future. They appear suspended in an unconceivable moment. The Stockholm, Sweden-based painter, about to open her first US solo show at Richard Heller Gallery in Shadows of Glass, is a bit of a mystery herself, letting the elegant and obscured black and white works sort of create a bit of a blurred idea of her practice. Her work is a conversation about memory, how we remember, the distortion of the truth of the past and how we present memories into the future.
