Jonna Johansson :
In my art work I deal with humanity at a large scale. I’m especially considering the position and the roles of women in today’s society.
Nowadays we are living in a world where globalisation, mass consumption and material values play a significant role in our lives and therefore I think it’s very important to deal with subjects such as the growing poverty of individuals, inequality and substance addictions. Everyday life for some people, which is often kept in silence.
My aim is not to moralize but to provoke to think and have opinions about the themes in question.
I have closely chosen the images from different media that are the basis of my paintings.

 

Juan Kasari:

With several techniques Juan Kasari mixes fictives and facts,
The artist makes use of the fiction space and characters to create a new polarization. To mix facts and fiction he wants to problematice how we understand things and how we want to see things around us.

Several of the works can be seen as an incorrection and an interruption of the local, national and global phenomenons.

I’m interested in showing the ‘other side’ of the humanity and reality in today’s world where as people deal with the different problems and hard situations in their life such as growing poverty of individuals, inequality, substance addictions, violence, matters and use of power and communication.  

The dialogue of my latest works is happening between the figures; such as rich upper class (gated community )people and their fiers and the poor minimun weight people

I have closely chosen the images from different media that are the basis of my works.

My main mediums are video, mixed media paintings with acrylic, ink, water colourpaint and I also use installation and photography as a part of my art work. 

Juan Kasari finds also new ways to use modern clichés in his work. Usually there is a certain voyeuristic, humorous and political aspects in his works.
