Hertha Hanson’s paintings were revealed one after the other for anyone who strolled through the crypt of Lund Cathedral. The contemporary paintings juxtaposed well with the old stone clad walls. Two types of sensuality were contrasted here: the dry, rough surfaces of the stones and the paintings’ layers of color with different textures, including glossy, matte, thick or no color at all. The canvases’ own color and structure formed part of the work.
The exhibition was arranged by the parish of Lund Cathedral and is included in Lund’s initiative, Sommarlund, with the support of Birgitta Hellerstedt’s donation to promote ecclesiastical art projects.
