Description: Swedish Rolf Hanson is one of the most significant artists in Swedish art scene of his generation. He is associated with a Nordic romantic tradition of painting with a starting point in a relationship to the landscape. However, over the years, Hanson?s painting has turned to more and more abstract expressions. The exhibition 'Retroactive' at Artipelag, is the largest exhibition ever with works by Rolf Hanson. It comprises his entire career, currently ongoing for 40 years. Often exhibitions like these are called retrospective exhibitions and are usually dedicated to artists with a long and important career, which undoubtedly is the case with Hanson. However, we have avoided the description retrospective and instead opted to call the exhibition a retroactive, and this to give a hint that Hanson most definitely is not at the endpoint ? au contraire his artistry is still in a development phase that constantly result in new constellations and reinterpretations of earlier works. Exhibition: Artipelag, Gustavsberg, Sweden (05.06.-28.11.2021).
Notes: Chiefly illustrated.
