  • Don’t miss Swedish artist Stina Persson's upcoming solo show “Perfectly Flawed”, at New York’s Gallery Hanahou. Nordstjernan met with the lovely artist from Lund a couple of years ago, when she had her show “Immacolata & her Friends” at the same gallery, and fell in love with her Sicilian beauties.

  • We can’t wait to see what Persson is up to this time. The former commercial illustrator has found herself conforming to trends of narrowing hips and ever-smoother skin by digitally altering her original watercolors, often without prompting from a client: edges have gradually become cleaner, features more defined, and the painterly more photographic.

  • For her newest work, the artist asked herself what would happen if she didn't scan, didn't retouch, and didn't work digitally at all. The result of that question is a series of more than 30 new works on paper, watercolor pieces of women with running paint, unconventional color choices, and skewed perspective - imperfections that are natural, unsettling, and beautiful. Stina Persson’s “Perfectly Flawed” opens on September 9, 7-9 pm. For more information: Gallery Hanahou, 611 Broadway, Suite 730, New York City, www.galleryhanahou.com
