Description
In Ampere, a dark horse moves through a tram depot with quiet confidence, its powerful form placed directly in front of a vintage tram. The contrast between the animal and the industrial setting is the painting's driving force. Nothing about it feels forced or constructed.
Östberg has spoken about this series as one that came naturally to her, the way a cat descends a staircase: effortlessly, with no hesitation. She photographed horses in and around the depot among the vehicles, and that direct experience is visible in the work. The horse is not a symbol placed in a strange environment. It belongs there, on its own terms.
The palette is deliberate and restrained: warm ochre floors, flat greens, the cream and blue of the tram, a red accent that echoes across the canvas. The composition is frontal and grounded, with a stillness that holds the tension between two worlds.
Presentation
Elin Östberg is a Swedish self-taught artist based in Gothenburg, working in oil, gouache, and digital media. Active since 2015, she has built a devoted following – over 47,000 on Instagram – through a body of work that is immediately recognisable: the blue trams of Gothenburg, rendered with a dreamy, poetic sensibility that turns the everyday into something quietly extraordinary.
To Östberg, the tram is more than a motif. It is a shared space – a moving room where people from every corner of the city briefly inhabit the same world. Her paintings capture the intervals between destinations: the moment before arrival, the window light, the quiet of a platform. In her words, the tram represents safety, a space always somewhere in the city, ready to bring you home.
In recent years her practice has expanded to include large-format oil paintings that place horses alongside Gothenburg's trams, merging two of her strongest visual languages into something new. Her work is held in private collections across Scandinavia and beyond, and she is represented by Galleri Scandinavia in Gothenburg.
