Astrid Strömberg: Dog Land
Nov 8 – Dec 21, 2025
Iso Roobertinkatu 16, 00120 Helsinki
In her Dog Land exhibition Astrid Strömberg turns her gaze to urban environments or, more precisely, to the experience of moving around in them. Previously, she has taken references for her paintings from the digital realm, with the torrent of images and text on screen becoming a room within a room.
Over time, Strömberg’s eyes have looked up from the screen, and the entrance to Dog Land lies in the urban space itself – in the memories and emotional states that remain from these places.
A key element of the working process for Dog Land has been Strömberg’s walks with her dog. She highlights how being attuned to the dog changes her way of perceiving her surroundings.
The dog’s companionship opens up new kinds of impressions and interpretations, which Strömberg incorporates into her painting. Form, colour and space are used to translate the built environment into abstractions that become alternative representations of these places.
