Market Art Fair 2026

Magasin 9, Frihamnsgatan 66, 115 56 Stockholm, April 23 - 26, 2026

We are delighted to announce that Galerie Forsblom is participating the celebratory 20^th edition of Market Art Fair in Stockholm. Galerie Forsblom’s presentation will bring together Heikki Marila´s expressive, tactile paintings and Anna Fasshauer’s wall-based and freestanding sculptures in a dialogue on gesture, material, and form.

HEIKKI MARILA
b. 1966, Finland

Known for his massive oil paintings and intense themes – including variations on art historical subjects as well as biblical and historical motifs – Heikki Marila (b. 1966) is a leading figure in the Finnish contemporary art scene. Marila captures the intensity of painting traditions and reinterprets them through the lens of contemporary social and visual discourses. His expressive paintings are laden with paradoxical drama: they play with contrasts, combining the spiritual, beautiful, and sublime with the carnal and corporeal.

Marila has exhibited widely in Finland, the Nordic countries, and Europe. In 2025, he had a large solo exhibition at the Sara Hildén Art Museum. His works are represented in numerous notable collections, including the Sara Hildén Art Museum, the Wäinö Aaltonen Museum of Art, the Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation, the TIA Collections in the United States, and the Ståhl Collection in Sweden. He was awarded the Carnegie Art Award in 2012.

Galerie Forsblom has represented Heikki Marila since 2015.

ANNA FASSHAUER
b. 1975, Germany

Anna Fasshauer’s (b. 1975) aluminum sculptures are created by bending, bumping, denting, and rolling the material. She works straight aluminum sheets as if they were paper or plastic, yet the material itself remains essential: she seeks to preserve its recognizability. These abstract sculptures, standing on the floor or protruding from the wall, carry a subtle sense of humor, as the cold, rigid, industrial material transforms into something almost human. The works emphasize the charged contrast between material and expression.

Anna Fasshauer graduated from the Chelsea School of Art and Design in London in 2001. She has exhibited her work in group and solo shows worldwide, including venues such as Kunstverein Offenburg and Kunstverein Arnsberg in Germany, and the Goethe Institute in Beirut.

Galerie Forsblom has been representing Anna Fasshauer since 2021.
