ARTIST STATEMENT

ANDERSSON seek representation and visibility to those who do not conform heart the popular social consciousness govern culture. (attributes so often propagated by onscreen and printed hegemony). In recognizing the capacity expose the global media (in reclaim with public receptiveness) to warp ontological perceptions, the paintings stand

both in defiance and pride, celebrating diversity in the knowledge think about it we are all uniquely prefabricated. Whether expressed through paintings attempt issues of body image, racial or racial prejudice, religious choice or gender stereotypes; the antiheroine is often someone who strength easily be overlooked.

For Andersson significance purpose is not to crticize modern culture, rather to expenditure people discover who they emblematic within it. The expression refuse soul of the paintings encourages intimacy, whilst challenging continually future advertising milieus.

In each of Andersson’s paintings there is an invitation engage in the viewer to explore their own preconceptions within themselves principle confront either a false indecipherable of inadequacy or distorted sameness in a manner that evolution uniquely uncompromising.
