Andréhn-Schiptjenko is pleased to announce Lena Johansson’s third solo-exhibition at the gallery, Dreamland Welcomes You, opening on May 27th, between 2-8pm.
Lena Johansson has been widely acclaimed for her small, intense oil paintings with motifs derived from lifestyle media. These images represent something deeply human to her; our need for beauty, seduction and sexuality. Through these images - charged with dreams and desire - Lena Johansson examines the inherent possibilities of painting's different expressions, emotional states and references through varied approaches.
Lena Johansson (b. 1975) lives and works in Sweden. She has previously exhibited at institutions such as Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium, Vestfossen, Norway, Moderna Museet, Malmö, Sweden, Lunds Konsthall, Sweden and Ystads Konstmuseum, Sweden. Recently, Johansson was awarded the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts’ 2021 Rome stipend.
