Fantomen i Stockholm En litografi 2022
Som ung pojke, i slutet av 1940-talet, var jag en flitig läsare av seriemagasin. Dessa hade låg status, debattörer ansåg de förstörde ungdomen. På 1970-talet började jag köpa gamla serier, mina egna var försvunna. Mandrake och Fantomen var favoriter. Jag gjorde målningar med exakt återgivna detaljer från dessa serier.
Fantomen i Stockholm utgår från ett italienskt seriealbum från 1942. Seriernas innehåll repriseras ofta. I Fantomens dubbelnummer 25-26 2010 återkom smiskberättelsen. Där är Fantomen, alias Mr Walker, på en öde ö med två kvinnliga pirater som han läxar upp.
Min bild är kanske satirisk, kanske vemodig. Vad förstod en pojke på 1940-talet? Hade de som ville förbjuda seriemagasin rätt? Vad förstår dagens män? Ska konst ha en bruksanvisning? Är bilden en fantasi, aldrig uppfylld och väldigt olämplig?
Diana, FN-anställd och Fantomens fru, påpekar detta. Rider sedan ut ur bilden.
Carl Johan De Geer född 1938

Artist

Carl Johan De Geer was a Swedish painter, designer, photographer, and author. He studied from 1959-62 at Konstfack. He is one of the leading representatives of the boundary-crossing artists of the 1960s. Utilising the magazine “Puss” as his platform, De Geer and others satirically critiqued society and its representatives in a provocative style. In their exhibitions, which often take the form of entire scenographies, he works with all art forms. He has designed textile patterns, created paintings featuring kitsch and memories, made films, and written novels that blend modernism with pop culture.
