About the gallery
Stockholm / Oslo
Est. 1998

A gallery built for slow looking.

Two spaces, one programme. We represent 24 artists working across painting, sculpture, and new media — and we give the work the room and the quiet it asks for.

What we believe

Art rewards attention. We design for time, not speed.

Each show
A printed catalogue

Ovelle Holm opened in 1998 on Hornsgatan in Stockholm, in a former printworks. The second space in Oslo followed in 2011. Across both, the idea has not changed: fewer works, more space, longer shows. We stage roughly eight exhibitions a year, build a printed catalogue for each, and stay in long relationships with the artists we represent rather than chasing what is current.
