Span in technique and expression – Kristianstadsbladet

Åhus.

The start of Konstrundan went yesterday. Just in Aahus vicinity where the span large. On the road south showed art Round’s grand old lady, Martha Sjöholm, perhaps his last show.

Despite the small room inside the tourist office at the Square in Aahus held there much. The range was great in terms of material and expression. It began, perhaps, this year’s art tour for many, at least for Carina and Stefan Sandin.

– This is the first place, unless you count the ice cream stand at the town square, said Carina.

the outskirts of the southern Ahus has Märtha Sjöholm his studio with nearly as much variation among techniques and motifs within a single artist. She also had 70 productive years and have always had a desire to experiment. She thinks it may be the last Konstrundan as exhibitors.

– Because I’m so old, but I have said so for years they say. I’m 96 and a half years, and I mean that I do not have much to wag. It has been quite a pain with all frames and all the stuff to develop, but it is fun.

But she must not stop painting. One of the paintings on the wall is a part of her latest project – acrylic paintings on aluminum background.

– I find that I have retrieved some interesting things in them that I want to work with. You can see how it changes in different lighting. I’ll see where I end up.

They are constantly in the mind of Martha Sjöholm as she shows around among the paintings. She remembers how she painted each painting and can tell you in detail about how she burned into glass scrap in enamel. She remembers where she painted – even if it was at the stern of a ferry in the Port of London or from a balcony in Venice – and has a story about the subject of almost every one.

When the day is over the 80 or so people visited with her but the energy is relentlessly high.

– I have not had much sold, but many nice reviews. I’m happy and it’s only the first day.
