Welcome to the website of the Swedish artist Birgitta Sundström Jansdotter. Jansdotter paints monumental, and with a cheeky wink to the 'normal' rules in painting. Her works are a fusion between material and subject where the figures simultaneously contrast with, and blend into the background. The female figure and its strength and weakness is a recurring element. In her paintings Birgitta expresses the ongoing roleplay between people Jansdotter began her career in Sweden and lives since 2001 in the Netherlands . She has exhibited in galleries and Art fairs in South Korea, China, United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands and recived 4 ArtAwards in Sweden and The Netherlands. In the summer of 2017 her work was to be seen in the Summerexhibition of Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle in The Netherlands and in the well known Kunstenfestival Watou in Belgium. In the summer of 2018 (4 months) her paintings is to be seen in NordArt in Büdelsdorf, Germany, one of the largest annual exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe. |

Upcoming Exhibition
|
NordArt in Büdelsdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, has established itself as one of the largest annual exhibitions of contemporary art in Europe. It has presented an extensive panorama of modern art every summer since 1999.
The former Carlshütte foundry and the historical Sculpture Park provide an impressive and inspiring setting for the exhibition, which features paintings, photographs, videos, sculptures and installations by more than 200 selected artists from around the world 09.06.2018 - 07.10.2018 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More than 3000 applications by artists from 105 countries were received this year. NordArt is celebrating an anniversary this year: For the 20th time, the exhibition will be presenting paintings and sculptures, photographs and installations by 200 selected artists from all over the world. This year’s Country Focus is on the Czech Republic. Patron of the Czech Pavilion will be the Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Germany, His Excellency Mr. Tomáš Jan Podivínský. Simultaneously, Czech born sculptor Professor Jan Koblasa (1932-2017) will be taking center stage as the Focus Artist. NordArt thus not only takes a bow to this great artistic personality - it also wishes to honour the man who has provided NordArt with important impulses and support from its very beginnings. The long-standing cooperation with the Chinese Embassy in Berlin and the cultural institutions in China, in addition to close contacts with the Chinese art scene, have already led to many spectacular presentations at NordArt in past years. Contemporary art from China will again receive special attention in 2018. http://www.nordart.de/en/index.html |

Interview RTV Lansingerland- Kunstwerk
Mijn interview voor het programma ‘Kunstwerk’ vanaf maandag 27 nov. 09.00 uur op RTV Lansingerland-kunstwerk de gehele maand te zien elk uur. Het was een hele leuke interview met Stan Hill. Cameravrouw: Monique Van Der Mije |

...Speciaal voor de buurgemeente; Zuidplas Cultuurprijs 2017, die gewonnen werd door Birgitta Sundstrom Jansdotter, werd de Rap van Joeri Kouwenhoven tijdens de uitreiking ‘live’ ten gehore gebracht.
Stan Hill heeft de uitnodiging van Brigitta aangenomen om met eigen ogen te kunnen aanschouwen, waar je nou eigenlijk een Cultuurprijs voor kan verdienen. Het bezoek aan het atelier van Birgitta maakte duidelijk dat de Cultuurprijs een prestigieuze prijs is die je niet zomaar verdiend. Birgitta, van origine Zweedse, woont al 15 jaar in Nederland en heeft Internationaal en nationaal vele spraakmakende exposities gemaakt. De schilderijen met de eigen signatuur van Birgitta vertellen de toeschouwer een verhaal waar je over na gaat denken. De onderwerpen op de doeken zijn gedachtespinsels en ‘boodschappen’ van Birgitta, die na vele weken van schetsen en uitwerken in kloeke robuuste schilderijen resulteren van soms wel 4,4 meter. De vrouw als rolmodel en het ‘omdenken’ zijn thema’s die duidelijk terug te vinden zijn in de schitterende doeken van Birgitta Tekst: Stan Hill http://rtvlansingerland.nl/2017/11/30/dj-en-winnares-cultuurprijs-in-kunstwerk/?s |
