Jens Fänge (SE)
In Jens Fänge’s imagery, elements from distant places in time and space coexist side by side. Fänge’s works consist of paintings in different sizes that combine various techniques and materials to create dense composite sceneries. The images capture recurring figures, patterns and compositions in different contexts and perspectives, as if to recreate encounters and narratives that have fallen apart. In the pictorial space, doors open to new inner rooms in a seemingly endless hall of mirrors. Here it is easy, but rewarding, to get lost, and while astray there is a chance that we will meet ourselves.
Jens Fänge (b. 1965, Gothenburg; SE) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Fänge was educated at Valand Art Academy (Gothenburg; SE) between 1989–1994. Fänge has exhibited extensively at galleries and museums internationally and his works are included in the collections of Gothenburg Museum of Art (Gothenburg; SE), Moderna Museet (Stockholm; SE), Nasjonalmuseet (Oslo; NO) and Magasin III (Stockholm; SE).
