Andreas Eriksson, roundabouts

More about the book

It’s difficult to not talk immediately about Andreas Eriksson’s life in his studio on Kinnekulle in Västergötland, especially considering that most of his imagery is evocative of nature. He consciously lives separated from everything that belongs to the big city life, not because he wants to live an isolated life, but because in the early 2000s he developed a hypersensitivity to electricity. He traded a life in the artist mecca of Berlin for the breadth of Kinnekulle. His explorations of the ancient landscape can be found in paintings, photos, fabrics and sculptures. His immediate surroundings appear in artworks and have also been important in working on the exhibition at Bonniers Konsthall. The exhibition has emerged as a manifestation of the joining of the two locations. Firstly the artist’s studio, with its stunning views that overlook the waters of Lake Vänern, and Bonniers Konsthall in urban Stockholm. He has used the winter light surrounding the gallery and built an exhibition that spans his entire ouevre with painting, photography, sculpture, film and textile.0Exhibition: Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden (29.1.-23.3.2014).
