Tomas Lundgren (SE)

Tomas Lundgren's work revolves around the image as a representation of time and memory. Using the archive as an outset for his paintings, Lundgren uses source materials as anchor points to contemplate and examine the remnants of the past. The time-consuming and diligent technique of translating and recreating found images into paintings has an echoing effect. As with memory, Lundgren's works often appear fragmented, reassembled and distorted. Fixed in the paint is both the reflection of the former images and the imprints of Lundgren's artistic method.

Tomas Lundgren (b. 1985, Gothenburg; SE) lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden.
