Sara Gewalt (b. SE) and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Today she operates out of her studio in the rural parts of northern Uppsala. She holds a BFA from Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design. In Gewalt’s work we meet figures that appear to have been summoned out of the dark. Sara Gewalt’s glazed ceramic sculptures balance on a duality where the pieces seem frightening while at the same time welcoming, often as beautiful as they are unsettling. Her work stands in the borderlands between fiction and reality, conveying a primal notion of something that is ultimately deeply human. Sara’s influences often derive from nature and mysticism as well as from gothic horror and popular culture. Previous exhibitions include Cornelia Sojdelius Gallery, Riche och Gävle Konstcentrum/Art Centre.
