Gunnar Haller

Gunnar Haller became interested in art history in the mid-70s and borrowed every book on art available at the library in his hometown of Lidköping. He began with cave paintings and then continued through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque era, Impressionism, Cubism, and eventually the abstract art form that he paints today.

The first time Gunnar saw abstract paintings was at a museum in Paris in 1978, where they exhibited artworks by Vassily Kandinsky, and he was completely floored by these fantastic large-scale paintings. In 1980, Gunnar started painting abstract compositions and knew exactly what he wanted to achieve from an early stage. Geometric shapes, triangles, circles, and squares arranged like a collage. Acrylic paint on canvas and paper, large and small compositions. It became like an endless series of paintings that all connected in some way.

He has always been extremely consistent in his creation, even though he has also had periods of experimentation, but always geometrically abstract. Even after all these years, he still feels a dizzying joy for each new variant that emerges. In 1985, Gunnar had his first exhibition in Lidköping and has since exhibited his art about 40 times both in Sweden and internationally, including in New York in 1989-1990.

Our Story

TOMAS OCH MIMMI HAMMAR

Gallery Hammar was founded in 2023 by the artist couple Tomas and Mimmi Hammar, who had long shared a dream of owning their own gallery where they could exhibit their art together.

The idea of establishing an art gallery in Vasastan was born as early as 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, Gallery Hammar opened its doors at Rörstrandsgatan 28 and currently represents around 20 artists and sculptors.

At Gallery Hammar, we offer a wide variety of Scandinavian art from both established artists and new talents whose works touch, challenge, and inspire. Our vision is to promote an innovative, inclusive, unconventional, and accessible space for both artists and customers. We constantly strive to provide a unique, modern, and relaxed environment where exciting encounters, interesting conversations, and lasting relationships contribute to a sense of community for all visitors.

Before embarking on their artistic careers, Tomas and Mimmi pursued different paths—Tomas dedicated over 20 years to photography and TV production, while Mimmi worked in HR for almost 10 years. Their diverse backgrounds have been of great benefit in the joint professional journey they have undertaken, often reflected in their roles as both artists and gallery owners.
