The Soft Collapse

This is Adolfsson’s third solo exhibition at La Plataforma, after Coup de Grâce (2016) and The Tramuntana (2019).

The Soft Collapse emerged from an intuitive process rather than a defined concept. Guided by instinct and emotion, the series traces the experience of collapses, subtle griefs, and the struggle to maintain balance amidst uncertainty or when things seem to be slowly falling apart.

The work dialogues with dualities—control and chaos, clarity and ambiguity. Within these tensions lies a rawness and vulnerability that reflect the contradictions of being human. Painted primarily in gouache, the series draws on dreams, fragmented memory, shifting identity, and symbolism, weaving them into a visual language that is both personal and open.

The Soft Collapse does not seek a resolution. Rather, it invites the viewer to live with uncertainty, to reflect on resilience, and to find personal resonance within the space the work proposes.

Monday to Friday: 10:00 – 14:00 & 16:00 – 20:00
