Her portraits of the Swedish King and Queen hangs in the Swedish Castle in Stockholm. She has taken the cab to TV4 in company of Obama, Armstrong, Jobs, Franklin, Dylan, Hemingway and Winfrey.

She  paints people in various shapes and forms – dressed, naked, families, adults, children, athletes in action, board of directors… She loves to honor individuals with portraits done her own way; larger than life. Her most recent exhibition was “United Statements of America”.

The Artist, Catrine Näsmark, will visit San Francisco February 16-18 in preparation of her coming exhibition.

Ileana Facchini, Board Member of San Francisco Opera House BRAVO! Club, is hosting with Herringbone a limited, invite-only after-dinner meet-and-greet gathering February 16, with light refreshments, and a personal 20 minute presentation by the Artist starting 9.15pm.

For a preview, see photos below and more info at www.nasmark.nushould you have recommendations on gallery or whom to meet, in order to bring Catrine’s artwork to San Francisco and beyond – please let us know.

Should you desire to have a portrait made (size from 70X70cm/2.3×2.3ft), this is an exclusive chance to have the Artist come during her visit and take the photo herself.

Personally, I love the artwork created by Catrine Näsmark. The colors, depth and witty that it embeds – the photos are beautiful, and the originals provide so much more in the details. It is a pleasure for me to introduce her art to California. I foresee her art work at the Museum of Modern Art, NYC.

Enjoy,
Johanna C. Nilsson

United Statements of America http://herringbone.fm/blog/2011/10/united-statements-of-america/ http://herringbone.fm/blog/2011/10/united-statements-of-america/#comments Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:44:29 +0000 http://www.herringbone.fm/blog/?p=28 “We are here for a reason. We are here to create the Earth. If you would believe that – how would you live your life?”

-Michael E. Gerber

That is one of my favorite quotes. And I would say, what ever gift you have, you can apply that to a life with purpose.

A clear example of that is the Swedish painter Catrine Näsmark, who is changing the world with colors. Her upcoming exhibition, United Statements of America, takes place this coming Saturday, October 15, 2011 in Stockholm. As the artist herself expresses:

I see this exhibition as a tribute to a country that have had and has so many great human beings that left their mark not only in history but also inspired humankind.

Who did not cry when Obama was elected president, who has not been absorbed by Bob Dylan’s lyrics, been seduced by the Elvis moves, or impressed by Steve Jobs’ efforts.

One could wonder how long the U.S. will be the superpower. With all the crises they have gone through. But people / icons / heroes remains. Their winged words are there. And they will always retain their power and continue to give strength, cohesion and focus.

Here are some of the statements put face and color to in the exhibition:

Broadcast Queen. ”Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.” Oprah Winfrey

Storytime. ”All animal life, all …..is awakend.” Sitting Bull

I Like. ”By giving people the power to share, we’re making the world more transparent.” Mark Zuckerberg

Kissing a frog. ”I am storming, ambitous and I Know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bich. Ok.” Madonna

Fly away. ”Nobody tears my city apart and gets away with it.” Superman

Freedom. ”I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.” Aretha Franklin

Who Am I. ”All I can do is be me, whoever that is.” Bob Dylan

Queen of Spades. “There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.” Michelle Obama

Take Off. ”Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn’t be done.” Amelia Erhart

Black or White. ”The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at the work.” Michel J

Do Not Ask. ”Don’t Ask what the country can do for U, Ask what U can do for the country.” JFK

Innocent. ”We are on a mission from God.” Blues Brothers

Can we ever get enough of messages like these? Go visit Catrine Näsmark’s exhibition, or website, and enjoy. It won’t be long before you can see her art in the actual USA. Hold tight.

Get heard,
Johanna C. Nilsson
