Roger Hansson

Roger Hansson was born in 1967 in Hishult, ;

He lives and works in Stockholm. He makes his debut in German by presenting a series of new works, never shown before, oils on canvas and on board, of small dimensions.

The painting is textural: small personalities appear in improbable locations. The figures are elongated into interminable shadows, little soldiers march with balloons tied to their arm, or walk on the branches of trees, towards the sky, youngsters stroll along hand in hand, while a little band plays. The atmosphere is playful but never banal, the reference to the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen (the tin soldier) and the Nordic tradition is immediately evident. Hansson is an important representative of one of the most interesting current artistic scenarios, the Scandinavian one, that in addition to video and installation, the most characteristic medias, is capable of using painting in unexpected ways.
