About

Robert Johansson (b. 1977 in Grums, Sweden) works with stratum - layers of their own character, delimiting from each other, but still gathered into a unit. Vulnerability and degradation, through the many layers and rounds of nature and society, are essential in his projects.

Wood, as a material and as a theme, is reoccuring in many of his works. He works with drawing, sculpture, installation, photocollage and print.

Johansson studied at The National Academy of Fine Arts Oslo and Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna.

Previous shows include I skogen, Alster- Gustaf Frödings minnesgård, Karlstad (SE), Klimalab, Nobel Peace Center (NO), Dark Drawn, Vilnius (LT), Oslo Utmark (NO), The Drawing Museum Laholm (SE), North Norwegian Art Centre (NO), Nils Aas kunstverksted (NO), Värmland Museum (SE), Trøndelag Centre for Contemporary Art (NO), SP Gallery, Stockholm (SE), Alma Löv Museum (SE), The Drawing Association (NO), 3rd Beijing International Art Biennale (CH), Sweet Punch: Recent Nordic Video (NZ) and ARS 06, Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki (FI).
