A slight variation to the podcast as on this episode we discuss The Art Club, a collaboration between the Nordic Art Agency and The Torso, which launches this November. This unique partnership combines fine arts and fine dining in a symbiotic experience, displaying curated artworks on the walls of The Torso Restaurant, located by the iconic Turning Torso skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden.

Born out of a desire to share art and artistic experiences in unique location, The Art Club is an opportunity to discover contemporary international artists in a fine dinning setting.

On this episode Swedish creative concept entrepreneur and designer Max Paulsson Hall joins host Juliet to discuss the exclusive Art Club evening events at The Torso restaurant. Each curated art exhibition and event at The Torso is perfect for those passionate about high culture; offering an extraordinary blend of visual and culinary delights.

Art Club members receive a welcome drink, light bites, and a 10% discount on food and art during the entire exhibition. Places are limited to 40 guests at The Art Club for each event and reservations can be made through info@thetorso.se or by following the event on Facebook.

The first Art Club event takes place on 26th of November between 17:00 - 19:00 and will feature Swedish Wildlife Painter Per Ekros. It will be held at The Torso in Västra Hamnen, Malmö, Sweden. Learn more about The Torso restaurant and follow them on Instagram.

On this episode Juliet is in conversation with Swedish wildlife artist Per Ekros.
Always fascinated by faces, expressions and bodies, animals are an intrinsic part of Per Ekros's life, and they form naturally and intuitively as the subject matter of his artworks. His heart lies within the animal kingdom and our consumption of their environments, which impacts him deeply and the psychology of this is a reflection of this.

The podcast discusses his series of polar bear portraits from the 2021 series The King without a Kingdom and how Per captures emotional response through his selection of material and media. His approach to a reductive painting style enables the characterisation of his chosen animal to be simplified within the composition which provides an emotional intensity in his painting.

Current works from the To The Ark series are exhibited at the Nordic Art Agency gallery during the Summer Exhibition and a solo exhibition of Per Ekros's painting will be held in the gallery from September 21st - November 16th 2024.
