ANTICONS VI

It took two years this time. 50 oil paintings, smaller than a fisherman’s fist, each with its own tone and distinctive name. “Waiting for a Better Season,” “Space Erotica,” “A Beautiful Mistake,” “Better Be Good to Me,” “Lady Landslide,” and “Final Scene” are some of the titles.

“Painting anticons is a form of practice but also a pause from the large, weighty works that are constantly marinating and reducing in the everyday studio routine. With the anticons, I can play with the brushes and experiment, find unexpected combinations, and lift new lids. The paintings become a kind of bridge from the boy within me out into reality and seriousness.”

I hope you appreciate this new little world; perhaps you’ll find your own place within it. The paintings will be available for purchase starting tomorrow at 9:00 AM on waldersten.com and can then be viewed at Rummet on Fredrikshovsgatan 5 for a limited time. All information is available on the website.
Peace,
