Tor Hedendahl

"Born 1981 in Malmoe, Sweden.

Tor's paintings are characterized mostly by his contrasts between painting and photography or graphics. A light-hearted tone, often with cartoon-like characters, floats through his paintings and is usually combined with a serious background conveying thoughts, feelings and/or messages.

The paintings have often been described as social satire or political satire.
The technique of blending photos, graphics and painting is not new, but the way in which he creates contrasts between these worlds makes the art of Tor unique and powerful.

The art itself can be categorized as pop art through his use of everyday objects such as photographic and cartoon characters - to make innovative, clean images. Tor manages to create a new dimension of an already well-established art form and take the world of comic art, as well as parts of the pop art movement, to the new generation of artists."
