Michael Rupini

Born 1975 in Stockholm, educated at Konstfack, Unversity college of art, craft and design.
Rupini has been involved in fine art for a long period of time, for example participating in performances at the Venice biennale. He went through the backdoor via fine art now showcasing his new works in a different setting and at an intersection of these two. Unravelling the secret of the wordless scribbles the message is to be perceived as a spell of goodwill, as voodoo. We now understand that his scribbling is not chaotic but fixated as a charm or a spell with specific intentions. These spells are carefully woven in and above the layers of colour in the backboard. The voodoo part of it is the intersubjective longing for fixing whatever problem we might have. This wish of goodwill is a welcome counterpart to imminent doom, caused by the greed of man, climate-change and ambition instead of solidarity.
