Author Description

Through Jens Fänge's paintings we enter into dreamscapes populated by people, puppets and pictures. They inhabit scenes consisting of distorted rooms, with walls and floors in vibrant colours and patterns and steep perspectives that create a slight feeling of vertigo and disorientation. 'Drömmarna' is a richly illustrated publication in English and Swedish that comprises both newly produced work and important earlier paintings from Fänge's extensive body of work. A conversation between curator and artist gives the reader insight into Fänge's work process, his references and sources of inspiration, while an essay by the English critic Martin Herbert discusses the work from an international perspective. The publication is a collaboration with Bonniers konsthall.00Exhibition: Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, Sweden (07.02.-01.04.2018).
