Christina Haglid

  • There is something profoundly reassuring about the smooth solidity of the forms anchoring Christina Haglid's compositions. More sculptural than two-dimensional in effect, these works on paper depict shapes as concrete and convincing as they are wholly imagined. With their focus on glowing light, gleaming water, and curved matte surfaces in calm, earth-tone palettes, Haglid's serene yet mysterious compositions open like windows on worlds that both soothe and beckon. To gaze through these windows at Haglid's imagined realities is to partake of a solace and serenity more vital in these anxious and uncertain times than ever.
