Jonatan Pihlgren

Jonatan Pihlgren works primarily with painting but also with sculpture, performance, cartoons and music.

In the artistic process, he often uses improvisation: to enter states that can lead to reassessing things and changing their functions. He examines objects and their relationship to the human body. These actions may look grotesque but have still sprung from lustful creativity.

The series of paintings and sculptures depicts the path of the blind through life. They are people groping in a chaotic world. The works are about confusion and powerlessness, but also about the openings that exist in everyday life, into fantasy and daydreams. Worlds and different wills meet and create knots or collages, scenes that in a dreamlike way are played out in several places at the same time.
