JOAKIM ALLGULANDER : DRA ÅT SKOGEN - RURAL ABSTRACTIONS

10 May-15 May 2016

Fiumano Clase
London SW1Y 5JQ

Overview

Working from his studio in East London, Joakim Allgulander has for the past year immersed himself in a deeply personal study of the landscapes that surrounded him as a child growing up in rural Sweden. This new body of work is composed of semi abstract studies of snowy pine trees extracted from photographs and memory. The paintings become fragments, the whole tree is never depicted, the detail being symbolic of the essence of childhood memories but also a natural recognizable abstraction in itself.
