Benjamin Andersson works intuitively and process-based, the references exist within the secret, sacred and divine, where man’s deeply rooted relationship to symbols and signs takes off in a pictorial tradition with light as its starting point. Andersson works in a stripped-down color scale where the surfaces both absorb and reflect light. In thinly painted layers of mars black, the motifs both appear and dissolve before the viewer’s gaze, the surfaces alternate between the abstract and the concrete, a suggestive and marvelous interplay between the eye’s perception and the mythologies we carry within us.
