Sphinx Drawing

Hans Johansson I am born in the north of Sweden but nowadays I´m living in a little village outside the university city of Lund, in the south of Sweden. I am educated in several art Schools, the latest was 5 years at The Royal College of Art in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm. I have made exhibitions in New York at Broadway Gallery, and at Florence Biennial in Italy, I have participiated in the Drawing Biennial in Pilsen 3 times, and I was the winner of Saatchi Showdown 2009 round one. There are many more exhibitions that I have participate in, both in Sweden and abroad. I am represented with my art in several Museums in Sweden such as Modern Museum of Art in Stockholm. Internationally I am represented at British museum in London and World Gallery of Drawings, in Skopje, Macedonia for example. Before I started my artistic education I was working in a classical style, but nowadays my work has become more modern. I am working with painting, graphic and drawing. In the painting there is a wide range of possibilities to express my intentions. When I am working with the graphics, I can work more with the drawing. The drawing is always the basis for my works. My painting is colorful and I never get bored on experimenting with them. In my artistic work the most important thing are to create an emotional experience. Experiences that can inspire people to new ideas and create curiosity. I am fascinated by what I see around me, the environment, my dreams and also of course what I see on art exhibitions and in museums. But the historical perspective the mysterious myths in the imagination that the humans has created is also significant. Both historically and in our time.
