More information

Claes Eklundh is a prominent artist who, in a unique way, combines abstraction and figuration in his artistic work. Through his versatile and experimental style, he creates an exciting dialogue between form and content, pushing the boundaries of what art can be. After studying art at several prominent art institutions around the world, he developed his own signature style characterized by a combination of abstract elements and figurative motifs. Eklundh's artworks establish a fascinating dynamic between the concrete and the abstract. He employs strong color contrasts and playful shapes to create abstract compositions that also contain clear references to the human form or nature-inspired motifs. By uniting these elements, he creates a visual field of tension that encourages the viewer to contemplate the relationship between representation and experience.

What sets Eklundh's work apart is his ability to strike a balance between chaos and order. Despite the dynamic and energetic nature of his artworks, they retain a structured and organized aesthetic. This harmony between opposites allows the viewer to discover new dimensions and meanings within the works. Claes Eklundh's artistic exploration of abstraction and figuration is not only visually appealing but also invites the viewer to engage in a deeper reflection on the multifaceted interplay between the artist, the work, and the viewer. His works challenge conventional ideas of representation and encourage the viewer to question and explore their own interpretations and experiences.
