David von Bahr
Energized
07.03—05.04.25
Gallery Steinsland Berliner is pleased to present Energized, the third solo exhibition by Swedish painter David von Bahr at the gallery.
David von Bahr continues his artistic exploration in a new series of paintings that build upon his previous body of work while incorporating fresh approaches. Known for his abstract expressionist, often large-scale, paintings, von Bahr conveys a bold and energetic perspective, guided by internal systems and reflective of the artist’s own movement patterns.
Von Bahr’s approach to painting is direct, intuitive and immersive. He engages with the canvas in a physical dialogue, moving around it freely to create pieces that echo the energy of their own making.
His process is both instinctive and methodical. By adhering to repeated compositional systems and orders, von Bahr is allowed freedom within his chosen constraints. Paint, glue and collage elements are applied to the canvas through varied techniques, each layer responding to the one before it. Confident strokes and sprays of color, unexpected details and unruly scatterings of paint come together in rhythmic compositions. In Energized, von Bahr has in some works embraced unrestraint while others appear more systematized.
Like a choreographed performance, his paintings materialize through a dynamic interplay of motion and restraint. The result is a body of work that is both immediate and deliberate, where every mark signifies movement and the final image is a testament to the process itself.
David von Bahr (b. 1992, SE) lives and works in Stockholm. He is a graduate of Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design.
