PharoDercks gallery is proud to present Marcus Carlsson, an internationally successful artist, who has already attracted a great deal of attention in a short period of time. He won several awards, among others in 2016 the “International Art Prize” Uffizi – Florence ” and the” Tiepolo – Arte Milan “.
After exhibitions in Florence, the MAMAG (Modern Art Museum Austria), the Expo “Carrousel du Louvre” Paris, and exhibitions in New York, Washington, Milan and Shanghai, it was time to go for Berlin.
Berlin lies, lives and loves on, in and at the water. H2O is within – and for Berlin a defining element, a continual theme.
That was Marcus Carlssons topic for his Berlin exhibition 2019. Presenting his abstract paintings, playful, full of anecdotes.
From 1st of March to 27th of April 2019, he presented his works at PharoDercks – at the gallery on Schönhauser Allee.
... has many facets. Originally a professional photographer working all over Europe, his main focus in the last decade shifted increasingly to painting. In this field, his works won prizes, and he has made a name for himself on 3 continents.
Born 1977 in Teckomatorp, Sweden, the artist continues to devote himself to video art and photography in addition to painting.
Gallery PharoDercks presents regularly changing exhibitions, ranging from drawings, paintings and photography to video installations and sculptures. Berlin art, Berlin artists and friends of the city, form the field of tension of our exhibitions, together with topics that move this city.
The gallery is located directly on the Schönhauser Allee, at the Prenzlauer Berg district, on one of the most famous and lively boulevards in Berlin - just a stone's throw away from Mauerpark and Kastanienallee. You can reach us quickly and easily by subway or tram. The stations UEberswalder Straße and S-Schönhauser Allee are within walking distance.
How would you describe yourself and your artwork?
[…] Art as I do it today is a mixture of the COBRA movement and action painting of the abstract expressionism. My vision of the abstract art is the chaos and the strictness combined giving a depth to a painting and that is what I always add to any series of my paintings. When I give a name to my art I also send a message with it and that means a lot to me. There are always one or more boxes in the paintings, it comes from my background as a photographer where an image is composed of square ”pixels”.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Can be from a question to a conversation or experience or something I’ve been thinking for a long time and I want to get it on canvas and be able to convey it to viewers, through my color compositions and my titles on my paintings .[…]
I convey a message through my paintings and then the viewer himself can experience and feel and let their imagination flow.

Water is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth’s streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms. Its chemical formula is H2O, meaning that each of its molecules contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Strictly speaking, water refers to the liquid state of a substance that prevails at standard ambient temperature and pressure; but it often refers also to its solid state (ice) or its gaseous state (steam or water vapor). It also occurs in nature as snow, glaciers, ice packs and icebergs, clouds, fog, dew, aquifers, and atmospheric humidity.
Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.It is vital for all known forms of life.
On Earth, 96.5% of the planet’s crust water is found in seas and oceans,
1.7% in groundwater, 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland, a small fraction in other large water bodies, 0.001% in the air as vapor, clouds (formed of ice and liquid water suspended in air), and precipitation. Only 2.5% of this water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice (excepting ice in clouds) and groundwater. Less than 0.3% of all freshwater is in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere, and an even smaller amount of the Earth’s freshwater (0.003%) is contained within biological bodies and manufactured products. A greater quantity of water is found in the earth’s interior.
Water on Earth moves continually through the water cycle of evaporation and transpiration (evapotranspiration), condensation, precipitation, and runoff, usually reaching the sea. Evaporation and transpiration contribute to the precipitation over land. Large amounts of water are also chemically combined or adsorbed in hydrated minerals.
Safe drinking water is essential to humans and other lifeforms even though it provides no calories or organic nutrients. Access to safe drinking water has improved over the last decades in almost every part of the world, but approximately one billion people still lack access to safe water and over 2.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. However, some observers have estimated that by 2025 more than half of the world population will be facing water-based vulnerability. A report, issued in November 2009, suggests that by 2030, in some developing regions of the world, water demand will exceed supply by 50%.
Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the freshwater used by humans goes to agriculture. Fishing in salt and fresh water bodies is a major source of food for many parts of the world. Much of long-distance trade of commodities (such as oil and natural gas) and manufactured products is transported by boats through seas, rivers, lakes, and canals. Large quantities of water, ice, and steam are used for cooling and heating, in industry and homes. Water is an excellent solvent for a wide variety of chemical substances; as such it is widely used in industrial processes, and in cooking and washing. Water is also central to many sports and other forms of entertainment, such as swimming, pleasure boating, boat racing, surfing, sport fishing, and diving.
