The starting points of my paintings can be found in the line that spaces out and sketches the scene. A certain theme offers a basis that will soon be beaten, simplified, softened, or abandoned by the painting process. The result is a documentary on the moments spent by the canvas. Not like a landscape anymore, a work can be quite far from its starting point. Eventually, it is just something painted: the language of a painting and the result of physical activity.
My paintings can often be placed somewhere between the performing and the abstract which also makes them surveys of perceiving. For me, a part of what makes a painting interesting is not knowing exactly what I’m looking at.
In addition to oils, I use spray paint and the occasional acryl paint.
The exhibition has been kindly supported by the Alfred Kordelin Foundation.
