Madeleine Strindberg has been regularly exhibiting with Cultivate both physically and on-line since the second show we ever did back in the days of Vyner Street here in East London in 2011. She’s one of our favourite painters, she’s rather unique, rather prolific, she’s always challenging both us and herself. I have said all this before, but the way Madeleine paints excites me, her colour, her economy, her movement, her decisions, her seemingly spontaneous way of expressing herself as well as the things she says with her paint. Madeleine Strindberg is one of my favourite painters, it is always a pleasure and indeed an honour for us to show her work. (Sean Worrall)

This work is a small sample of what Madeleine Strindberg has produced in the last ten years. She actually has a whole new body of work ready to show very soon, we resisted the temptation to show any of the most recent pieces from a recent Italian residency here, hopefully we can show it or at least see it physically in a gallery soon.

The size of the paintings or indeed the medium isn’t important here, we are looking at the work in digital form via a monitor that dictates the size of the image. Madeleine paints in acrylic, oil, with household gloss and more, her work is on large canvas, small canvas, paper, newspaper and more

Please do click on an image to enlarge it and see each image in full or to run the slide show and do please please please view it all on a decent sized monitor, something more respectful than just a damn phone for gawdsake…

Madeleine Strindberg is a rather exciting painter, a long (long) time resident of London, a graduate of the Royal College of Art as well as winner of the 1998 Jerwood Painting Prize. A regular in terms of Cultivate shows pretty much from the first days of Cultivate back in 2011. A prolific and dare we say rather unique rather special painter who so often seems to paint just the right piece at the right time, with everything Madeleine has produced in recent years, a serious solo show in a significant London Gallery is surely well overdue?  She was the Artist in Residence at the National Gallery in 1989. That same year she also won the GLC Peace Prize. In 1996, she was awarded the Abbey Award in Painting by the British School at Rome. She was one of the artists shortlisted for the John Moores Painting Prize in 1997. In 2000, she was once again on the shortlist for the Charles Wollaston Award but it surely is what Madeleine has been doing as an artist in more recent times that excites? That “ceaseless striving to attain meaning through unusual and experimental means” that sees her deliver again and again… (Sean Worrall)

There is an interview here, one of our 13 Questions pieces – 13 QUESTIONS FROM ORGAN: Artist Madeleine Strindberg paints with a freedom I really envy, I adore the commitment in her marks, her ability to place the paint in just the right place… Today, our 13 questions are answered by artist Madeleine Strindberg, Madeleine paints with a freedom I really envy, I adore the commitment in her marks, her ability to place the paint in just the right place and in such a deliciously economic manner. hers is such wonderfully knowingly uncluttered way, not a less is more… read on

And that was it, a 41st on-line exhibition and something like the 197th Cultivate show in all.  A big big thanks to anyone and everyone who has visited the exhibition, a big big thanks to Madeleine

And if like what we do you do feel like making a small donation – We bring all this art, music and underculture to you for free, we really don’t want to clutter up our pages with annoying adverts, no one wants that, but it does take up a lot of time, hours and hours of time. If you should feel like supporting Organ/Cultivate (for it is one in the same) by making a small donation to help keep all this flowing that would be delightful, thank you.

Coming next, well watch this space, we’ll tell you about #198 in a moment…
