Fredrik 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳: Sun and Steel 鈥� The Warrior鈥檚 Path
We are proud to present Fredrik 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳鈥檚 first solo show at the gallery. In the exhibition Sol och st氓l 鈥� krigarens v盲g / Sun and Steel 鈥� The Warrior鈥檚 Path, a tension is created between 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳鈥檚 violent, meticulous watercolours based on Japanese woodcuts and the serenity of large-scale abstract oil paintings.
In life and art, Fredrik 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳 has always taken a keen interest in questions of faith, ethics and the shortcomings of human beings, searching for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind human behaviour and its implications in a historical context. Art history, philosophy, spirituality and existential queries infuse 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳鈥檚 artistic process and serve as a backdrop for his work. His oeuvre encompasses skilfully executed watercolours, abstract paintings and richly illustrated publications.
The title of the exhibition is derived from the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima鈥檚 autobiographical essay Sun and Steel, published in 1968. Mishima is considered one of the most important Japanese authors of the 20th century. A nationalist at heart, he committed seppuku (ritual suicide) after a failed military coup d鈥櫭﹖at in 1970. The life and faith of Mishima has been a trigger point for 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳鈥檚 fascination for protagonists living in a grey zone of what may be morally acceptable. Taking responsibility for your actions and accepting the consequences is a theme in Sun and Steel. In his art, 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳 challenges contemporary life, bringing traditional values and virtues to the table, shying away from actions which may be considered middle ground or based on consensus. Balancing complex issues in the grey area between good and evil, light and shadow, Fredrik 厂枚诲别谤产别谤驳鈥檚 paintings are a result of intense concentration.
