Stella Im Hultberg’s “Stranger” at Spoke Art.

Opening on October 1st, 2015 at Spoke Art in San Francisco, California is the highly anticipated solo show of brand new work by my friend and artist Stella Im Hultberg entitled “Stranger.”

This is Stella’s first solo show in nearly four years after spending time being a mother to a newborn and is an epic body of beautiful work.  Exploring the usage of mixed mediums to create more organic feeling paintings “Stranger” is meant to encompass the ever changing feminine identity.  As Stella explains: “There was a lot of ‘heaviness of love’ that I felt since becoming a parent, a very heavy-feeling blessing. I’m sure many parents would agree. Maybe overabundance of flowers are a bit related to that - delicate flowers in heaps can become very heavy and hard to bear. Even the most beautiful things that can make it hard to breathe for you. But things happen in life, not just children, that can make you change before you realize. And suddenly you realize that you’re different. You see that you’re still you, but somehow you aren’t you anymore - you’re a stranger to yourself.”

“Stranger” is on display until October 24th, 2015.

Esta mañana, una embarcación con 700 inmigrantes a bordo ha naufragado al norte de Libia, mientras se dirigía a la costa italiana. De confirmarse todas las desapariciones, en tan sólo una semana estaríamos hablando de más de 1000 personas muertas por intentar llegar a Italia mediante el mar. Y es increíble la pasividad del mundo. No entiendo cómo se sigue tolerando que cada año cientos de inmigrantes mueran ahogados, por intentar buscar un lugar que les ofrezca mejores condiciones de vida, y no pase nada. Que triste es que el precio de una vida no sea el mismo en Europa que en África, que las tragedias no tengan la misma importancia si ocurren en una ciudad europea que en una africana. Y el mundo continúa mirando hacia otro lado, y los medios de comunicación siguen normalizando estas desgracias, o destacándolas brevemente, cuando les beneficia a sus intereses. ¿Cuándo aprenderán que, por muchas fronteras, nacionalidades o razas que haya, todos somos personas y eso es lo que vale?
