Objects, paper collages, found materials. Andersson's work is absolutely fantastic!
From the publisher:
Hans Andersson’s work involves materials such as textile scraps, colored and dyed paper, sheets of painted paper and bits of labels and fragments torn out of magazines. Add shellac, coffee grounds, watercolor, and pencil, not to mention dusts and other surface dirt. The surface texture of the works is accentuated by the many materials they are created with.
From the conversation between curator and writer Silvana Lagos and Hans Andersson:
Silvana Lagos: This repetition of tactility is something that youb repeat, for example, when you experiment with the use of smell and your collaborations with perfumes. The different notes, layers, tones, and depths that can be found in scents very much parallel what you can see in your work.
Hans Andersson: I’m really into scent, I collect perfumes, and I use perfumes or smells to heavily guide my work process in the studio. I use them to go into certain areas of my paintings in a very similar way to how music can be used to create a certain atmosphere, but smell is more complex for me as it has so much to do with memories of places and people.
