Matts Leiderstam, The Grid and the Gaze

Matts Leiderstam has dedicated his career to deconstructing the mechanisms of vision to understand what happens between the artwork and the viewer. At the Andréhn-Schiptjenko gallery, the Swedish artist strips bare the geometric structure of classic compositions, using the grid as a universal tool for interpretation. The exhibition confronts the methods of master painters with contemporary visual questions, transforming each painting into an exciting investigative terrain. This work of precision doesn’t just show images; it reveals the systems that govern them and the way they capture our attention. It’s an opportunity to look beyond the surface of the canvas to grasp the secret grammar of painting. This event will take place from March 27th to May 24th, 2026, offering a new perspective on European pictorial heritage.
