Off Season debuted in 2024 at Toqueur Gallery in Amsterdam, but it had been sitting with me for over a decade. The image traces back to the winter of 2009 to 2010, after we moved to Venice Beach and the rain came in and stayed. Weeks of it. The boardwalk emptied. The light shifted into something I had not seen before: low, dense, slow. A beach town with nobody watching. The soft saturation of a place that lets its guard down. The bareness of an empty boardwalk in bad weather.

Off Season was originally released as a hand-embellished unique on Dibond and as a limited edition in three size tiers.

At the end of 2025, all current limited editions came to a final close so production could come home to the atelier in Stockholm.

Off Season now returns as an open edition in two formats, A3 (297×420mm) and A2 (420×594mm), printed on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm fine art paper. Shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Please note that digital screens cannot perfectly replicate physical pigments; the print itself is the definitive reference for color and texture. Subtle variations in character are inherent.

Caring for Your Hahnemühle German Etching Print

This artwork is printed on 310 gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper. Made from 100% α-cellulose, it features a beautiful, tactile felt texture that gives the print wonderful visual depth. It is also museum-quality and acid-free, meaning it’s built to last a lifetime.

Here are a few simple suggestions to help you handle and frame your new piece:

Unpacking & Handling

Handling the paper The textured matte surface can sometimes pick up natural oils from your hands. To keep the image pristine, it's best to lift and hold the print by the unprinted white borders.
Keep it clean If you have clean cotton gloves handy, feel free to use them! If not, just make sure your hands are clean and dry before unpacking.

Flattening the Print

Because this paper is quite thick and heavyweight, it will naturally want to stay curled after traveling in its shipping tube. It just needs a little time to relax before framing.

Unroll Gently unroll the print onto a clean, flat surface.
Protect Keep the included tissue paper draped over the artwork to keep dust off.
Weight it down Place clean, flat, heavy objects (like large books) on the corners to gently press the paper flat.
Let it rest Leave it to settle for a day or two. Giving it time to relax naturally will make framing easier.

Framing Suggestions

If you are working with a local framer, here are a few recommendations to achieve our atelier’s signature look:

Use a spacer Ask your framer for a "spacer" mount. This creates a small physical gap between the glass and the artwork, preventing the textured paper from pressing flat against the glass. It allows the beautiful felt structure to cast subtle, natural shadows.
Frame style A simple wood profile (we love a 15 mm face and 30 mm depth) frames the work beautifully without overpowering it.
Glass Anti-reflective glass with UV protection (such as Artglas) is a fantastic choice. It cuts down on glare so you can truly appreciate the paper's texture, and it helps protect the pigments from fading in the sunlight.
Materials Simply ask your framer to use acid-free backing boards and tapes to keep the paper healthy over the years.

General Care

Keep it dry Avoid using liquids, damp cloths, or cleaning sprays near the unglassed print, as water can easily spot the paper.
Dusting If the print needs a quick dusting before it goes into the frame, a very light sweep with a soft, clean brush will do the trick perfectly.

All works are shipped with tracked delivery. Insurance is included where available through our shipping partners. We ship to collectors worldwide.

Open editions typically dispatch within 5 to 10 business days after order date.

This art piece is incredible. I’m in love with the stunning transition of colors, the depth, the richness. I find most of Kalle Hallzén’s pieces are incredible, having said that, they are a bit too melancholy for me to look at them all of the time. Especially the slouched postures ones. I still think they are amazing. The Off Season still feels hopeful and the colors are everything. I truly love it!

When I received it I sat here looking at it with tears in my eyes. It brought me so much joy. What an incredible artist.

Stunning piece of art. Had so many comments about it. I adore it.

Looks beautiful! I love it.

Great customer service, and even more amazing work.

Top notch piece of art and impeccable service!
We will get other pieces!!!

Just discovered you in time for your most recent drop! Ordered prints of The Reward and Off-Season and one of Echo, they were all of a top tier and the giclée print really makes the colors pop. Exquisite works of art! Waiting to see more from you.

Goods arrived in the UK within days. Packaged very nicely which avoided any potential damages / scratches but also not overpackaged which creates a nightmare to remove packaging.

The art itself is even more beautiful in person. Extremely happy with the purchase. Overall 10/10

I realy love your print, the colors are incredible, my kids and I are very happy to enjoy your art in our home and feel différent kind of émotion. Thank you!

Very beautiful!

The art is even more stunning irl!
