Galerie Forsblom proudly presents new and recent works by Susanne Gottberg, Anna Fasshauer, and Kim Somervuori at CHART 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark. In addition, Anna Fasshauer has been selected for CHART in Tivoli 2026.
Susanne Gottberg
b. 1964, Finland
Susanne Gottberg’s (b. 1964) paintings explore spatiality as both a physical and experiential phenomenon. At their core is painting itself, composed of touch, materials, and accumulated gestures. Each work generates its own field, echoing and merging with the space surrounding the viewer. It asserts a strong presence while deepening the dimension it contains, sparking a dialogue between the image, its depicted interior, and its surroundings. Gottberg employs layered techniques in oil on canvas and pencil on wood, with the wood itself actively shaping both the artwork and the surrounding space.
Susanne Gottberg (b. 1964, Finland) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki in 1989. She has presented numerous solo exhibitions across Europe, and works are included in major Nordic public collections, including Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Gothenburg Art Museum, Trondheim Art Museum, and the Public Art Agency Sweden.
Kim Somervuori
b. 1975, Finland
Kim Somervuori’s paintings are characterized by an imaginatively rich visual language, a controlled undulating composition, and a rugged painterly touch combined with a strong colorist palette. In his works, spatiality merges with layering, pronounced materiality, and themes that draw on art history, literature, subcultures, and phenomena of popular culture. His background in graffiti carries onto the canvas, particularly through linguistic elements, with words and wordplay regularly surfacing in the compositions. Somervuori often uses leftover paints, and chance plays an essential role in the mixing of colors and in building the vibrancy of the image and its surfaces.
Kim Somervuori (graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki in 2012. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Finland and abroad. His works are included in several collections, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, the Saastamoinen Foundation, and the Paulo Foundation. He received the William Thuring Prize in 2015.
Anna Fasshauer
b. 1975, Germany
Anna Fasshauer’s (b. 1975) aluminium sculptures are created by bending, bumping, denting, and rolling the material. Fasshauer works straight aluminium 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 the Jardin des Tuileries in Paris, Kunstverein Offenburg and Kunstverein Arnsberg in Germany, and the Goethe Institute in Beirut.
Additionally, Fasshauer has been selected for CHART in Tivoli 2026, an off-site contemporary art exhibition presented in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Garden. The outdoor exhibition in Tivoli opens during CHART week and remains on view until the end of September.
CHART 2026 takes place at Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen from August 27–30, 2026.
