Here are the collages and paintings of contemporary surrealist artist Gudrun Åhlberg. Included are her renowned “feminine landscapes,” fragments of female bodies juxtaposed with bits of natural landscapes. Also illustrated is another technique that blends cut-out color pictures on magazine paper with decalomanias, a technique similar to that used by Max Ernst. Her work is at once poetic and full of horror, depicting the precarious situtation of mankind.

In Ærtebjerg’s images, dark sihouettes and white figures of Yves Tanuy-like form are located in an indefinable, sometimes almost cartoon-like universe, where coloured bubbles create an atmosphere of lightness and cheerfulness. The figures, which are for the most part human, though generless, are in several of the pictures linked together in playful couples that tend towards the erotic. In other paintings the figures transform into organic, growth-like elements.The various metamorphoses that occur emphasize the sensation of a magical dream world.

The artist’s imagery visualises an extraordinary universe located in the borderland between familiar reality and unknown fantasies. Around a central figure located in a natural landscape, or in the definable space, flowers, insects, animals and birds lie placed in relationship to small figures and geometrical forms, so that the result robs the viewer of all sense of solid ground underfoot. In viewing these paintings, one is continually reminded of childhood imagination and of the magical but often grotesque world of the fairy tale; everything is ambiguous, and consequently many interpretations are possible.
