Description: Joakim Ojanen is one of Sweden's most successful artists today. His ceramic sculptures, drawings, and paintings are shown in exhibitions around the world. In 'The Part You Throw Away' we meet a world of characters. A terrified figure with rosy cheeks and a startled wretch with new white sneaker and a festive hat. Loyal dogs and sensitive youths with ears that stick out from under little stocking caps. The figures are scrawny but also quite shrewd, with what we can sense are rich internal emotional lives. Ojanen began drawing as a child, and soon found a style of his own that he has continued to develop in several different materials. He has become known primarily for his work in ceramics, a material that allows him to work quickly and intuitively. Exhibition: Västerås Konstmuseum, Sweden (14.04.-26.09.2021).
