Happy!
Happy! by Ake Arnerdal
I mostly work with mixed-media collage paintings and sculpture, at times combining them for installations. The material and components I use are primarily a mix of paint, objects found and discarded, fabric, photos, and text.
The reoccurring themes in my work are what we as humans have in common, such as longing and belonging, the problems in trying to make the right decisions and to ultimately move forward. I’m inspired by the immediate and emotionally involved communication achieved in children’s art, a theme also found in work defined as outsider art. Folk art with its overload of patterns, ornaments and riots of color also inspires me as well as the baroque with its exuberance and slightly exaggerated language. Graffiti and street art also provide inspiration for my work.
My work doesn’t necessarily hold an apparent critique but rather comments and reflects on the world surrounding me.
