Biography

Johannes Hägglund - Artists - galerieforsblom.com

Born in Stockholm, 1993 I Lives and works in Stockholm

 

Johannes Hägglund works with abstract painting in which texture and composition have a clear presence. The paintings are based on an organic construction in which form and color take precedence over the selected motif. He approaches painting as a process, in which he first sketches with ink on paper and then transfers colors and patterns to the canvas. The challenge lies in creating the same feel on canvas as on paper. Brushstrokes have powerful energy and movement, and the pattern must continue in a repetition beyond the canvas frame.

 

Johannes Hägglund studied at the Gerlesborg School in Stockholm. After completing his bachelor's degree he entered the Master Programme in Fine Arts at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, which will be completed in 2020. His work has been shown at the bachelor's degree exhibition at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 2018 and at Liljevalchs Spring exhibition 2017 in Stockholm. The exhibition at Galerie Forsblom is his first solo presentation.
