Angoulême - Year of the Dragon

2012-01-30T14:32:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of visiting the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême in France this weekend. Galago published a swedish anthology in french Rayon Frais containing my story Forest Boy. Also I took part in an exhibition with Strindberg as a theme. The exhibition will now travel to Paris and the Swedish Institute. At the Institute I will make a wall painting, work on a new book and drink coffe.

Next year I will take part in an exhibition on August Strindberg. The opening is at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in January 2012. Then the exhibition will go on to Paris and the Swedish Institute in February. There I will also do a big wall painting.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.

Summer memories: No More Lullabies

2011-09-18T14:21:00.000-07:00

This summer at a festival in Molkom, Sweden, I projected my pictures live to accustic music by artist ASS. It turned out to be a great combination. The festival called FUTUREPERFECT was organized by music collective No More Lullabies.

Singoalla

2011-04-04T14:53:00.001-07:00

"That' s it!"
It was in 1992 at National Museum in Stockholm when I, for the first time, saw Carl Larsson's illustrations to Singoalla. Carl Larsson, who's better known for portraying his ideal home in bright colors, had in 25 illustrations to Victor Rydberg's novel created a much darker world. The drawings were done in an ink-wash with tiny highlights in white. Seeing these drawings was a big revelation for me since they had the mood and technique I was looking for. I went straight home and did an ink-wash. And I have worked pretty much in the same style ever since. These drawings are now shown at Konstmuseet in Göteborg until sunday.

Sven-Harry's Golden House

2011-03-27T16:28:00.001-07:00

The building contractor Sven-Harry Karlsson has collected art for 40 years. Now Sven-Harry has built an art-museum with apartments, galleries and a restaurant. On top of the building is a copy of Sven-Harry's home with the art collection he donated to the museum. One of the apartments in Sven-Harry's Art Museum is my new home and studio. I feel very inspired having this as my new base. I also feel a great gratitude towards Sven-Harry for his love for art and artists. More information about the art-museum here: http://sven-harrys.se
Long live Sven-Harry.

The Rabbits of Angoulême

2011-02-02T04:53:00.000-08:00

The rabbits.

The festival.

The airport.

The rabbit.

The International Festival of Comics in Angoulême, France. Thousands of comic books everywhere. Artists, agents, publishers and journalists buzzing like millions of bees. One evening I ate rabbit for dinner. In Paris, my favorite bookstore Un Regard Moderne, was closed. The Moebius strip at Foundation Cartier was unsolvable as usual. Frankfurt airport served salty peanuts.

NORRTULLSLIGAN

2011-01-12T07:44:00.000-08:00

This is a cover design and illustration I did for the new edition of the swedish 1908 classic novel Norrtullsligan by Elin Wägner. It's about four women sharing a flat working as secretaries.

THE LOVE OF SMOKE

2011-01-10T04:02:00.000-08:00

Recently when I was in Kalix in the north of Sweden, I fell in love with the smoke from a sawmill. It was almost -30 C outside when I filmed and photographed the mill. I'm now editing the material that will result in a shortfilm experiment. Here are some still photos.

THE VERTIGO ROOM

2010-12-06T04:20:00.000-08:00

Here is finally some pictures from the collaborative work between the Le Gun crew and the Swedes. This room was painted during two days and nights in October at BUS in Stockholm. Spending over five minutes in the room created a compact dizziness. The exhibition was curated by Emma Rendel.

In addition to the Vertigo Room the Swedes exhibited their work.
My picture story Triton was projected in a bath tub filled with water.

This weekend I will attend the comics festival AltCom in Malmö. And the exhibition "MUS MOUSE MAUS", in which I participate, has now travelled to Stadsbiblioteket in Malmö.
It's always a pleasure to visit my old friends in that town. Hopefully there's time for a trip to Copenhagen and the Lynch expo at GL Strand. Maybe there's even time to crawl into my favorite submarine U3...

FOREST BOY REMIX

HANS ARNOLD R.I.P.

2010-10-27T03:54:00.001-07:00

Me and Hans Arnold.

I met Hans Arnold twice. Both times it was together with the publishers from Sanatorium. I remember we all had lunch and then went up to his penthouse studio in the old town in Stockholm. It was raining that day and you heard the rain hit the tin roof as he sat at his drawing table signing some books. When I was a kid I could sit for hours and watch his pictures. Especially the cover illustration for ABBAs Greatest Hits made a lasting impression on me. That day in his studion we didn't really talk much but he seemed like a very kind man.

DAVID LYNCH IN TOWN

2010-10-17T08:07:00.000-07:00

Catching the Big Fish signed by David Lynch.

This weekend David Lynch was in Stockholm to talk about the benefits of meditation. Back in 2003 I had the great pleasure of meeting him when he was here to receive the Stockholm Film Festival Prize. We, a chosen few, had wine & cheese in his hotel suite and the day after we met for coffee. This time it was more short and sweet. But still we had time for a warm handshake. I gave David my book Kolonialsjukhuset (Colonial Hospital) and he signed my copy of Catching the Big Fish. BANZAI!!!

Detail from my "Zyklon Boy & Vladek (Homage to Maus)"

The reasons are: work x 16. I'm all work and no play. But for you who are attending the Göteborg Book Fair, visit the exhibition "MUS MOUSE MAUS" at Göteborgs Stadsbibliotek. It's an homage to Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus. The artworks will also be a part of the magazine Bild&Bubbla.

Hedgehog in the Fog

2010-09-22T06:44:00.000-07:00

When I was a kid there wasn't much animated films on TV. Only at the movie theatre you could catch Disney films. But sometimes there was animations on the children's program. Often those films came from eastern europe or Russia. This russian film by Yuri Norstein is one of my favorites. Though I'm not sure I saw it when I was a kid.

A review to a kill

2010-09-08T10:46:00.000-07:00

Translation: If you get a bad review... And if you get a good review... "Good?!! I'm a genius!!!"

Some time ago I met Joanna Rubin Dranger. She said she had one of my comics on her wall. I was flattered and asked which one. After some time I realized she meant this one. It was made in 2004 for Författaren (The Swedish Writers' Union Magazine). I guess it says something about how an author can feel about reviews.

This is the girl

2010-08-19T08:42:00.000-07:00

Latest drawings for the animated short film "The Girl Who Destroyed the World". These are the blueprints for the main character Isobel. She will now be modelled in 3D. The film is a collaboration between Martin Kryger, Vurpa and me.

The Rocking Chair

2010-07-19T07:17:00.000-07:00

During my vacation up in the north of Sweden I painted this rocking chair. I love rocking chairs.

THE GIRL WHO DESTROYED THE WORLD

2010-06-16T14:48:00.000-07:00

Good news. The animated short film "The Girl Who Destroyed the World" will get support from the Swedish Film Institute. The film will be made in collaboration with director Martin Kryger and animators Vurpa. The story is about an angry girl.

"The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife

Works on paper by Knut Larsson

Inspired by Greek mythology and Japanese artist Hokusai, Knut Larsson has created images about the cycles of life.

The Exhibition includes a 120 x 270 cm large triptych originally made for an exhibition at Nordic Watercolor Museum in January 2010. It has never before been shown In Stockholm. Also the picture story Triton will be shown."

EXHIBITION STOPPED BY VOLCANO. TRITION COMES TO RESCUE.

2010-04-22T07:58:00.000-07:00

Due to the volcano ashes I have been stuck in New York for some time. I will unfortunately not be back in time to finish my exhibition The Royal Armoury. Nor will I attend the Swedish SPX.

But fear not, instead I will show my triptych The Dream of The Fisherman’s Wife. It was a 120 x 270 cm painting I made for the exhibition at Nordic Watercolor Museum in January 2010. It’s a sequel to the picture story Triton and has never before been shown in Stockholm. You will not be able to see it on the Internet or as a reproduction for some time so take this chance.

Along with the triptych the picture story Triton will be exhibited. The Royal Armory will be back another time.

I'm now presented by ICE in Paris, France. Thanks to Johanna Suo.
A few words about ICE:

"Innovation culture Europe, ICE, is an association created in the autumn 2007. ICE wants to improve knowledge between European countries and cultures and to bring forth values such as awareness, engagement and openness through art and cultural projects.

ICE initiates and produces transcultural European art projects but also collaborates with other actors in the cultural sector that share the same goals and values."

WINTER AND WATER LANDSCAPES

2010-02-03T12:39:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday the Nordic Watercolor Museum was surrounded by ice. It was the opening of "Art Comics Life" with 19 artists from the nordic countries. The comic art have left the pages and turned into giant wall paintings, sculptures, films etc. The exhibition is fantastic.

My contribution to the exhibition is in two parts. The first is a room installation with my picture story Triton. The pictures are projected downwards into a glass box filled with water. The pictures are reflected up in the ceiling. From a loudspeaker you hear music from Michael Galasso. You will soon be able to see filmed material from the installation.

The second part is called "The Dream of The Fisherman's Wife", a 270 x 120 cm triptych made in ink and gouache on paper. "The Dream of The Fisherman's Wife" is a sequel to the story Triton. I will not show a reproduction of the triptych until a high quality reproduction is made. Anyhow it's supposed to be seen live.

Thanks all of you who attended the opening. Those of you who weren't don't miss this fantastic exhibition.

Participants: Anneli Furmark, GISP!, Sara Granér, Simon Gärdenfors, Matti Hagelberg, Bendik Kaltenborn, Kolbeinn Karlsson, Knut Larsson, Helena Roos, Liv Strömquist, Katja Tukiainen, Marko Turunen, Amanda Vähämäki, Ola Åstrand, Li Österberg

WHAT'S HE PAINTING IN THERE?

2010-01-20T11:37:00.000-08:00

Isolated for seven days and nights on the island of Tjörn I have been painting a 270x120 cm triptych. It will be shown at the upcoming exhibition "Contemporary Nordic Comics" at Nordic Watercolour Museum. The triptych is a sequel to my picture story "Triton" - a cruel tale of a fisherman's encounter with the sea god Triton.

Opening January 30th. More information here:

CONTEMPORARY NORDIC COMICS 31.1-14.3 2010

"The art of the comic scene seethes with activity. More and more people are reading and making sophisticated comics. The potentials offered by this meeting of images and text appear inexhaustible and today’s Nordic comics exhibit a striking range of both pictorial idiom and content. The stylish and elegant rubs shoulders with the childishly cute and with consciously raw and brutal depictions of life.
For the museum’s opening exhibition 2010 we focus on contemporary Nordic creators of comics. With the help of 19 invited artists we are mounting an exhibition that varies during the exhibition period. We will offer unique original pictures, workshops and wide-ranging programme of activities, lectures and concerts.

Participating artists: Anneli Furmark (Sweden), Sara Granér (Sweden), Simon Gärdenfors (Sweden), Matti Hagelberg (Finland), Bendik Kaltenborn (Norway), Kolbeinn Karlsson (Sweden), Knut Larsson (Sweden), Helena Roos (Sweden), GISP Bjarni Hinriksson (Iceland), Liv Strömqvist (Sweden), Katja Tukiainen (Finland), Marko Turunen (Finland), Amanda Vähämäki (Finland), Ola Åstrand (Sweden), Li Österberg (Sweden)."

THE DARK CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

2009-10-06T15:39:00.000-07:00

I dream to the sound of the Dark Chamber Orchestra. I dream about you. I wake up and look around. The trees are dressed in the same old red velvet wallpaper. I want to go to the shop to buy peanuts. The high man-made grass tickles under my feet. When I arrive the shop is totally overgrown by cotton candy. It must have been closed for years, the cotton candy has a sour taste. It's night and the zone shines. I go home to my foam plastic cave. I pass through the opening, a black curtain of liquid vinyl, like wet black hair. When I comb the vinyl - music occurs. Music from The Dark Chamber Orchestra.
