Because, in addition to being multi-talented, he is also sensitive, humble and fantastic! I hope we get the opportunity to be on the same art scene!

What universe do I live in – the universe that has “wormholes” – where you can travel wherever you want in a second. On my planet there are no fences, only if you put them there yourself. I’m easily deceived… the downside of free thinking is that it makes me gullible. In a way I’m glad I was fooled, I had forgotten that I saw a person 5-6 years ago – I saw a presence and a talent that I wanted to meet.

THIS DAY
I went through memories from last year – and this very day was a special day, a road Trip.
the location is: Båstanäs in Töckfors
– the place is filled of silent stories. time was short, there was so much more to film.
It was poignant – jag blev så berörd – to walk there among all the cars, the deeper into the forest, the older and rustier it became. I actually saw wrecks that looked like they were from before WWII.

Cecilia has built a kennel – with a lot of passion and love – one of the best borzoi kennels in Sweden… lot of gold doggs! Fantastic breeding.
Her garden,in the middle of Gothenburg… like hidden, kind of unreal… lovely!
… always new things in development.
The cellar where fish overwinter and are then released into the ponds of the wooden farm.
There is a lot to say about everything my sister does … will come back another time!
2015 – my very multi talented sister builds a pond.
TODAY – I so long for inspiration!
Six months ago I was on a Sunday at Röda Sten, and that was inspiring. Feeling and seeing other people’s work, when that work is genuine&true… I just love it!

I am inspired by this picture even though it is my own… I love what I have managed to portray here. Think, some things can only be “read” in pictures… pictures are such an amazing language!

STOCKHOLM – 2022-11-16 19:00
Norén – theater – “that’s how simple love is”… well, it’s not simple! … that’s for sure!
I had an experience… that didn’t exist in my reality… it happened to me anyway! It’s becoming art!
I went to Stockholm, went to the theatre Maxim… actually mainly to understand reality, which I had begun to doubt… would have filmed a lot more, but lost the desire due to internal circumstances. Anyway, it was a valuable experience, to be able to be part of the last performance – in reality… happy that I have seen the much loved theater Maxim, before it was shut down.
Loaded with new insights I went home… it was/is surreal. I’ve fallen out, beyond earth’s gravity!
OBS
If anyone wants to add this little film clip to their memories – the end of Maxim – it is now available for download!

I look out – I see a sky – and it’s filled with creatures – some find their way into my rooms… and that’s what my new project is all about! What I meet in the outside world & what I meet online!
I kind of got “struck” by a special person… her grief went right through the window into my studio – it was Beatrice – when she stood in VIGIL. It touched me deeply that they were standing there for public viewing… with their claws – watched by prying eyes – but especially Beatrice – it was heartbreaking – in the same time pure and beautiful!

THE LEGACY – THE HERITAGE
I want to highlight our inherited fear. As soon as we leave the safe womb, we are so incredibly vulnerable.
In this work – which has been ongoing, from and to, since 1997 – 2022 – I have portrayed my fear of existing in my earthly body, my earthly destiny. And as I see it, everyone else’s fate as well – because I am not alone in being born into a system where violence and power are one of the most controlling forces. After all, there is a counterforce of light and love, but not everyone is blessed to be in that frequency. Despite the fact that “THE LEGACY” has deep roots in a dark part of me, my personality, the work is portrayed with humor. Because humor is a great tool to deal with difficulties. So this little baby, sitting on one side in a crack of the work – is even before leaving the womb – armed! This little heir seems to embrace his destiny even as he thinks: shit! On the other side of the work, his father – the comic book hero The Phantom rides his horse, gun at the ready… my childhood comic book hero, whom I chose to portray as the patriarchal role model.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT that the person who sings off the board is the same person who painted the painting?
Except
– that you do not want to be cheated!
… and in addition to paying for a lot more underlying work than just the fact that one purchase! All crafts are impregnate by variably unseen forces! According to me – it is extremely important what you bring home – for you who do not know, to you’r awareness, an object is just a capsule, a shell filled with just the exact energy that it was made by!
The great thing about buying a work of art is, in my opinion, that you besides the image, do take part of the artist’s invisible presence – you simply purchase an animated object – it cannot get more exclusive than that! That is what you are buying when buying a work of art.
” Zeppa-Zertified ” is:
= an hair collection in a safe deposit boxes from a selected individual who is no longer alive!
… to avoid any “accidents”
😉
– from this hair collection you use a piece of hair each time you sign you’r artwork – hair must always be in a certain measure, such as 2 cm, unless it does not apply even if it is the right DNA, it is to eliminate cheating alternatives to open the capsule and cut a piece of the hair, to use for other work.
Mount the hair shaft in papie mache (above) and rap the it in some plastic or evan better tin foil paper, and then put the package in a ”capsule” , and mount it on the artwork. The ”capsule” can for example be made in paipé mache, wood or plaster.
You mount the ”capsule” with suitable glue!
The ”capsule” is encapsulated in a mounted area of the object… and if you ever want to check the authenticity of a painting of me – or perhaps another artist who chooses this method –
you should be able to submit the painting to get an DNA-analysis. With professional help, lift the seal with a scalpel and do DNA analysis of the hair shaft and comparing it with an analysis… and then, with a witness – of course, restore the capsule.
As for my works – it probably will be accessible on my website.
Below – samples of a work of art, that is part of a series of paintings that I call ”Fauteuil-caramels” … and of course, there is the new addition to it, a DNA sealing!

–
So these works are intended, in such a way that the decorator should be able to combine pieces in the desired color combination, in the desired size and in different directions – horizontally or vertically. There are exciting movements no matter how you choose. I think it adds something extra interesting when the recipient gets the opportunity if desired, to integrate with the work and thus take part in the creation … become co-creative!

New parts are under development!

Pernilla Eskilsson
I had errands for the art gallery in Trollhättan – a work by me, ROOTS was part of Nature Remains&resident Carmen Olsson’s progress – inspiration took hold of me and I slipped into the other resident, Pernilla Eskilsson progress – Cloudy Wagon, I was enchanted and a film is ongoing.
This first part of the film is also in progress. the film is based on an observational, engaging and personal experience of Pernilla’s project.

This painting has a special place in my history
I guess in this case – it’s me who’s Diana!
Jag antar att i det här fallet – är det jag som är Diana!

MÅLNINGEN har stannat i min ateljé i alla år, förutom en vistelse på några månader på Mölndals museum, för ca 6-7 år sedan. Vid ett tillfälle höll jag ett föredrag för Sveriges fantomen klubb, ett antal herrar, som befann sig spå bokmässan, hade hört talas om tavlan, hörde av sig till Mölndals museum, de bad om ett litet föredrag av konstnären… kunde jag ju inte motstå… samtidigt lite “odd” att berätta att jag fått en baby med fantomen för en grupp herrar… underliga situationer man kan hamna i, men jag tror att de hade kul!. De ville så gärna höra om denna tavlas tillkomst och varför!
THE PAINTING has stayed in my studio for all the years, except for a stay of a few months at Mölndal’s museum, about 6-7 years ago. On one occasion I gave a lecture for the Swedish Phantom Club, a number of gentlemen, who were at the book fair, had heard about the painting, heard from Mölndal’s museum, they asked for a small lecture by the artist and that I could not resist … at the same time a little “odd” to tell that I had a baby with the phantom for a group of gentlemen … strange situations you can end up in, but I think they had fun !. They really wanted to hear about the origins of this painting and why!
NÅGRA detalj bilder ur tavlan:
SOME detail pictures from the board:
Tavlan med ett par andra verk blev också omtalat i medier lite här och var.
The painting with a couple of other works was also mentioned in the media a bit here and there.
It is a fantastic entrance to the area where the art gallery is located … it offers both depth, excitement and incomparable possibilities, if you think about this rabbit’s presence.
Carmen Olsson has been given a residence in Trollhättan’s art gallery – and so has the textil artist Pernilla Eskilsson – starting soon. It is possible to visit the art gallery during this time:
25 april – 22 maj

WE ARE working out a performance.
We are building a story, through art, through dance, through film … everything matters, all expressions meet in a vortex and have a life of it’s own … we listen … and we are amazed!
We want, in small portions, share the work with you during the project.
We feel that the way are just as interesting as the finished performance.

I think that it is in some ways like go into a twilight zoon when traveling by tram in Gothenburg. On the one hand, the trams that go here are often from the 70’s … it feels really strange, considering how everything else has developed since then! And besides, it’s always a bit special because you get trapped in a vehicle with unknown people, all with their different energy bubbles. I will work in this painting like an experiment. I will see if I can land in an abstract description of a moment on a tram… without any people being seen … really nothing should be seen, just felt!
I do not know, but “COURAGE” has an inherent … if you give yourself time to look, you can feel it.
I’m enchanted … that’s why it will be a movie!
There will be more to come about Bengt Olson… you can find out more about him via his website:

so-called artist – like myself – you do not choose, it is only in your genes. It’s a blessing – you live a rich inner life. but it is also horrible, vulnerable and omitting. you stand outside your surroundings …
People in the immediate environment are quite often provoked by the person you are … I do not know why … even those closest to you … it is sometimes very lonely, very sad…
Many times I have been extremely hurt … but I have been quiet about it, because I understand that they do not see… did not understand, or chose not to understand … in any case … why do you/we so easily forget respect … the most monumentally important thing… most important human trait!
I guess we can all feel that way … maybe …
grace fully let their beautiful curtains end up in my studio instead of on the garbage dump … sometimes “manna” falls from the sky!

OZZY himself 😉
Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – I´ ve changed some things, it was even
bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR
CENTRUM RÖDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.
First this year I have it for sale… as in for real!
titel:
For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe
“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’t´t it?
BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!
The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become
humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.
I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …
it was great!

… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!
I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …
And this magic fabrics… that speaks and tell… impossible to resist!
COLLAGE-presentation of parts of Zeppa-Creations. This work makes an important existentiell balance for me towards my painting – where I always move around in the “deep” – creating clothes gives me a wonderful surface… where there is easy to be!
… or not to speak… It is a global language. It is so fascinating – all different ways – from the simplest to the most complex! It is wonderful, fun and ingenious. I think that we are rather unconscious concerning the dress-perspective, in general… despite all the fashion and consuming.
sketches for dance-costume
I loved to do these sketches – I made a lot – never shown them before – my interest for fabrics and clothing began with this mission, 2013.

“GESTALTAS ERFARENHETER SOM RYMMER ALLT FRÅN KÄRLEK OCH SYSTERSKAP TILL UTSATTHET OCH VÅLD.
MEDVERKANDE KONSTNÄRER ÄR: SARA-VIDE ERICSON, ROXY FARHAT, GABRIELLE GOLIATH, MOA ISRAELSSON OCH JOANNA PIOTROWSKA.”
[KONSTHALLEN]
This movie specifically describes my experience of Moa Israelsson´s cocoons !
“Moa Israelssons konstnärskap rör sig ofta i gränslandet mellan fiktion och verklighet, hennes skulpturer liknar föremål vi känner till, men är tillverkade av andra material och dimensioner än vi är vana vid.
Israelssons installation Go, Gone består av tio skulpturer i olika storlekar som hänger från taket. Skulpturerna är formade som stora sovsäckar, mjuka och till synes slitna av yttre åverkan. Stoppningen är synlig och materialet är fläckat, som om det legat ute under lång tid och bearbetats av tidens gång. De omsorgsfullt handsydda skulpturerna vittnar om en stilla vila. Tryggheten sömnen inger, men också sårbarheten. Tyget blir då ett försvar, ett lager mellan kroppen och världen som skyddar och värmer mot det som sker utanför. Verkets titel Go, Gone antyder att något gått förlorat och får sovsäckarna att likna tomma skal. Det enda som återstår är minnet av det som en gång funnits. Samtidigt inger den uppmanande titeln också ett hopp om att lämna förlusten bakom sig och gå vidare, att bli fri, och precis som puppan i en kokong förvandlas och pånyttfödas.
Materialvalet, silke och läder, förstärker känslan av skulpturerna som kokonger, skapade av naturen snarare än syntetiskt framställda av människan. Det är från just silkeskokongen som silkestråden utvinns. De två materialen silke och läder är båda organiska naturmaterial, men samtidigt varandras ytterligheter. Där det ena är ömtåligt och skirt, är det andra tåligt, slitstarkt och grovt. Kontrasten mellan materialen, det skira och mjuka, det grova och smutsiga, bidrar till en känsla av sällsamhet och förfrämligande: föremålen känns bekanta men samtidigt underliga.
Go, Gone, 2019-2020, 10 skulpturer, olika dimensioner, silke och läder.”
