About The Artwork

A hearty work of protest. There is a lot of ambiguous stuff in this poster, and the ultimate meaning is in the eye of the beholder. I hope it might jog your imagination. I find digital painting excellent for this dreamy kind of stuff; I have so little patience these days for oils that never dry or acrylics that dry too quickly. Also, my daytime job while painting this was doing the perfect opposite; inking for a nice Children's book, so the darkness of the night wanted something perfectly else. If you want my personal take: Sweden runs on lots of subsidies; whether it's the housing of Real Workers or directly to the factories where they're stored 9-5, presumably (but not necessarily) doing Real Work. All is paid for by timber from stolen forests and reindeer feeding grounds rich in ore – both taken from the indigenous Sámi people. One of those days, the balloon will get pricked by a giant needle.

Once in a while I actually do perfectly normal paintings -- poppies, still life, or why not beautiful Lake Mälaren here in Stockholm, Sweden. But mostly, I find this tumbling world so bewildering that I have to paint something equally juxtaposed, often with dark and wry humour. The few oils I do lovingly slowly, painstakingly careful as an archaeological excavation of the subconscious. Then there's all my intricate "inquarelles", an ink-and-aqua tech that I developed for speed in my days as a commercial artist, and now there's digital ramblings too. But fast or slow, my works can only be finished by you, with your feelings and interpretations. You are an artwork too.
