A suite of new ceramic sculptures by Swedish artist Harry Anderson will be presented in CHART's large outdoor exhibition at Tivoli. The works examine the fragile boundaries between identity and performance, raising thoughts and questions concerning what we choose to hide and what unfolds when people choose to reveal themselves by true intimacy, beyond perceived 'masks'. In dialogue with artists including Cindy Sherman, James Ensor and Man Ray, these works situate the mask within a lineage of artistic inquiry, expanding its meaning across personal, cultural and psychological terrains.
Anderson’s artistic practice centers on themes of routine, limitation, and the tension between control and chaos. His works reflect a personal relationship with strict routines and boundaries, investigating how such constraints can act both as protective shields and as threats to personal freedom. His sculptures capture moments of subtle transformation, where minor changes leave a lasting impact in both time and space—embodying the artist’s ongoing search for a balance between control and unpredictability. Anderson’s visual language draws from surrealism, American folk art, and ancient mythologies, carrying a lyrical quality that often evokes poetry. His sculptures are influenced by artists such as Philip Guston, Sam Doyle, and Donald Baechler, reflecting a blend of naïveté and melancholy, with recurring themes of freedom, restraint, and longing.

About The Artist
Harry Anderson (b. 1986, Stockholm, Sweden) holds an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen (2019). He is known for his ceramic sculptures that explore the spectrum of human emotion. His recent solo exhibition Narrow is the Path, January 2025 at Saskia Neuman Gallery presented a suite of works that move between reality and dream, where faces and expressions convey feelings of hope, love, and desire— gradually shifting into despair, desperation, and sorrow. This is Anderson’s first presentation at CHART Art Fair. His work has among other places previously been shown in several group exhibitions at V1 Salon; part of heralded Danish gallery V1.
Harry Anderson is represented by Saskia Neuman Gallery.
