In order to express emotions, memories and dreams, Jordan Shakes Pålerfält works intuitively and across genres with painting, sculpture, collage, music and performance. In his art, he explores the subconscious as a mirror of the personal and the collective. The materials he uses are often found, received or saved objects with personal significance. His works have autobiographical elements and are influenced by popular culture, spirituality and rituals, but also by spatially creative sports like climbing and parkour.
In the exhibition at Bildmuseet, Shakes Pålerfält shows two paintings on light-coloured textiles: visual representations of emotions. There is also a hanging sculptural piece with rope, chain and a homemade ladder that together hold in place drawings, poems, soft toys and other personal objects that mean – or have meant – a lot to the artist. The work is a tribute to people who have had great significance in his life.
