In this special series, we introduce the four artists who have created bespoke works for MONUMENTS at Audo House — Henrik Glahn, Fanny Schultz, Linda Weimann and Nicolas Makelberge. Each piece responds directly to the architecture and atmosphere of Audo House, forming a quiet dialogue between form, space and feeling. Through these interviews, the artists reflect on their process, inspirations, and how their work becomes a part of — and a response to — the house itself.
Henrik Glahn — Intuition in Form
Crafted exclusively for Audo House, the Oud series of four quietly monumental sculptures by Henrik Glahn explores the space between structure and stillness — where volume meets emotion and presence is shaped by intuition. Inspired by the tactile calm of limestone and the rhythmic dialogue of concave and convex forms, the Oud sculptures occupy Audo’s spaces not as objects, but as companions. In their scale, there is resonance; in their surfaces, memory. There is a natural quiet to the pieces — not silent, but slow. Like architecture that breathes or a ritual that repeats. Here, minimalism doesn’t withdraw, it expands, allowing the works to be not just seen, but lived with. Over time, they shift with their surroundings, revealing new rhythms in the routine of the everyday.
Fanny Schultz — Quiet Transitions
Profiling gentle weight and quiet colour, Fanny Schultz’s art pieces for Audo House capture a moment in nature when everything softens — when flowers begin to fade and colour withdraws into earthier tones. Her bespoke, handcrafted stoneware pieces are sculptural yet grounded, tactile yet calm. Rooted in the Swedish concept of formgivning — the act of giving form — Fanny’s ceramics are shaped not only by hand, but by attention and intention, blending relief and glaze like brushstrokes. Forms invite both touch and stillness. They are not meant to interrupt a space, but to fold into it. From muted florals to weighty silhouettes, each object feels like an artefact of a fleeting season – and a reminder that beauty often lies in what’s fading – made permanent through clay.
Linda Weimann — The Architecture of Emotion
For Audo House, Linda Weimann’s sculptural language is reimagined in a series of objects and wall pieces that explore ornaments not as embellishment, but as emotional architecture. A curve becomes a horizon; a surface holds the memory of touch. Shapes are not symbolic, but sensory — designed to ground space and hold attention over time — while shifts in light and perspective subtly change how each form is perceived. Her works emerge from gypsum and pigment, shaped with intention through traditional moulding techniques and layered with textured patinas. The result is a sculptural language that feels both ancient and immediate, shaping Audo House with a steady rhythm in a shifting world.
Nicolas Makelberge — Holding Space
Created especially for Audo House, Nicolas Makelberge’s series of four paintings brings his intuitive, layered approach to Audo’s visual world. Working in acrylic on canvas, he balances gesture and restraint, building compositions that feel quiet yet charged — with emotion, rhythm and presence. Each work reflects his ongoing exploration of simplicity: pared-back forms, muted tones and negative space used not as absence but as structure. Drawing loosely from Audo’s earthy palette, the paintings offer a calm visual field while retaining the textured immediacy of the artist’s hand. Though abstract, the works evoke a sense of stillness reminiscent of landscapes or horizons, anchored forms that echo the grounding tone of the Monuments exhibition and invite reflection, slowness and a sensitivity to the passing of time.
