10.2026 From Forest Glade to Blossom / a collaboration with artist Elvire Soyez / public commission at Södersjukhuset, IVA/MIVA, Stockholm
Throughout the entire sequence, from the balcony and corridor to the reception areas and waiting room, light, colour, and imagery move gently and rhythmically through the spaces. The nature of Årstaviken, with its meadows, flowers, and forest glades, reappears in watercolours, foil window installations, ceiling panels, and Elvire Soyezs stoneware reliefs. Together, these elements create a visual narrative that connects and unifies the rooms.
For staff, the environment can offer brief moments of rest and orientation during the working day. For relatives, the spaces become a place of calm and reassurance amid uncertainty and concern. Light, materials, and colour interact to provide both tranquillity and presence, offering a human and warm counterbalance to the technical hospital environment.
The art is therefore not merely decorative, but an active part of the healing quality of the environment for everyone who spends time here.

In the watercolours by Erik Jeor we experience both the symbiotic fluctuations of the surface and the pigments. It is a kind of hydrological morphology that together form a series of states of being, where the works are created by controlling the flows that occur when the paper and watercolor meet and mix…
…Painting is not a closed chapter in the history of art. It has expanded, folded into the outside world and adapted. Greenberg's definition of modern painting as an orientation towards the surface, and his description of Newman's painting as a transition from surface to field still resonates in contemporary art, also in the multipolar Nordic painting.

For Viola Tricolor, Jeor created detailed images of flower petals, pistils and stems, preferably in a cross-section. He was attracted by Elsa Beskow’s heralded play on proportions throughout her literary canon. In her fairy tales, the forest and plants grow so large that they ultimately surround person, often diminutive in size, in an enchanted, however not completely kind world. In about the same, perhaps ambiguous way we experience the huge flora mural on the wall.

Erik Jeor was tasked with creating a limited-edition wallpaper. Together with Saskia Neuman Gallery’s founder Saskia Neuman and the wallpaper company Borås Tapeter the artist worked through the possibility of devising the wallpaper as a print. Jeor artist spent a good portion of a year researching and developing the idea, finally settling on painting three new works, taking inspiration from several different wallpaper designers and manufacturers, including William Morris. The three paintings, watercolor on paper (105 x 75 cm with an oak frame) were titled Gullviva - Jungfru Marie Nycklar - Primula veris, 2024, Trädgård, efter Fra Angelico, 2024 and Nyponros - Blommornas Drottning - Rosa Canina, 2024 became the foundation for three wall mounted prints. The wall mounted prints/wallpaper are 12 m2 in size, in an edition of 25 + 3 artist proofs each. Each wall in the booth presentation Welcome Home were clad in one of the limited-edition wallpapers, creating an impression of being in an interior room of a home, albeit a very colorful one.
