formative works 1987-1999

Swedish art education in the 1970s and ’80s was firmly rooted in modernist tradition, and largely mediated by male teachers through the study of nude model. Voluntarily adapting to that male gaze during my years of schooling, I never doubted the values of colour and form exercises. Graduation marked an end to free access to the traditional ‘painter and model’ situation. These works can be seen as my taking leave.
