Håkan Rehnberg explores and develops his own painting technique: oil paint on sandblasted acrylic glass. A technique that has similarities with American colour field painting by, for example, Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko and with the abstract painting of the German artist Gerhard Richter.

Håkan Rehnberg has exhibited at many important institutions, both internationally and in Sweden. His career includes solo exhibitions at Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2015), Galerie Nordenhake Stockholm/Berlin (2010, 2011, 2012, 2015), Malmö Konstmuseum (2007), Vida Konsthall, Öland (2005) and Liljevalchs konsthall, Stockholm (2002). Rehnberg was nominated for the Carnegie Art Award 2002 and represented Sweden at the Sydney Biennale 2010. Håkan Rehnberg has been a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts since 2000.
