More information
Anders Widoff's artistic production oscillates between painting and sculpture. In his work, he often starts with simple, and seemingly insignificant objects aiming repeatedly to restore their value. He turns to the everyday and finds and gives the viewer new opportunities to see beyond the obvious.
'With his carefully painted pattern, Widoff has performed a tribute to the familiar plastic tablecloth of the kitchen table, an illusion that also contains hints of stains and traces of daily life. Through his painting, Widoff has found an intersection between realism and classical minimalism while he takes down art from its high pedestal by earnestly highlighting tangibility, everydayness, and materiality.'
