Original art
Birgitta Glenmark's paintings are fueled by a vibrant curiosity for materials. Each stroke exudes energy and playfulness, guided by the chosen medium. Glittering tar paper adds a mysterious undertone, while metallic powders enhance brilliance. Ink-soaked paper allows the ink to find its own path, and acrylics on canvas let the brush embark on a unique journey. From strict forms on aluminum to ethereal creations on rice paper, Birgitta's artwork carries subtle traces of filtered impressions. These abstract pieces evoke a rawness that resonates with life's complexities, inviting us into a joyful world of artistic exploration.

Sculpture
Matilda Bengtsson, born in 1985 and raised in Linköping, is now based in Stockholm, where she passionately practices her artistry. Working with metal wire, Matilda finds her inspiration in nature, meticulously sculpting and shaping hundreds, sometimes thousands, of meters of wire into vibrant depictions of the natural world.
Matilda's distinctive signature lies in her hand-twisted trees, each possessing its own unique character. Ranging in size from 3 cm to as tall as 80 cm, the focus often centers around the majestic oak tree, reminiscent of her grandfather's beloved oak. However, other trees also find their place in her creations.
While materials may vary, Matilda primarily utilizes black iron wire. Its raw, lifelike hue creates a sharp yet lively contrast in our predominantly bright Nordic homes. Her remarkable pieces have gained recognition, with representation in galleries across Sweden and Norway, showcasing her exceptional talent to art enthusiasts.
"Father's Oak (Oak Tree), Black Wire"
This sculpture comes in four different sizes, and all of Matilda's sculptures are made to order, which sometimes makes the delivery time slightly longer than our usual lead times.
Please note that the images are for illustrative purposes only, and all sculptures vary form and appearance as they are handcrafted, making each piece unique.
20 cm - SEK 1450
26 cm - SEK 2600
32 cm - SEK 4500
36 cm - SEK 6,000

Thomas Hammer
Tomas Hammar is an abstract and figurative painter from Stockholm, Sweden who finds inspiration throughout the daily random encounters and the own voice and expression of the creation process. His ambition is to achieve balance between color, luminosity and mathematical distance, but also to break it to create that beautiful contrast between harmony and chaos.

our history
Tomas and Mimmi Hammar
Galleri Hammar was founded in 2023 by the artist couple Tomas and Mimmi Hammar, who for a long time shared a dream of owning their own gallery where they could sell their art together.
The idea of establishing an art gallery in Vasastan was born back in 2017 when Tomas was at the beginning of his artistic journey. After the impact of the pandemic, the goal became even clearer. In May 2023, Galleri Hammar opened its doors at Rörstrandsgatan 28 and currently represents around 20 artists and sculptors.
At Galleri Hammar, we offer a wide variety of Scandinavian art from both established artists and new talents whose work touches, challenges and inspires. Our vision is to foster an innovative, inclusive, non-conventional and accessible space for artists and customers alike. We constantly strive to offer a unique, modern and relaxed environment where exciting meetings, interesting conversations and long-lasting relationships contribute to a sense of community for all visitors.
Before Tomas and Mimmi started their artistic careers, Tomas devoted himself to photography and TV production for over 20 years, while Mimmi worked in HR for almost 10 years. Their varied backgrounds have been of great benefit in the joint journey they have taken as self-employed people and are often reflected in their roles as both artists and gallerists.
