Majsamling

Born in Malmö 1957. Living in Halmstad since 1983.

I do my paintings with acrylic on mdf hard board. My paintings often look three-dimensional as if they are sculptures, yet they are flat. I achieve this effect by working extensively with shadows and perspective, sometimes impossible and by cutting out the painting, as well as cutting away specific areas inside the painting, using a tiny saw blade.

Common motifs are urban landscapes, buildings in twisted perspective, stairs and ladders giving possibilities.

So far almost 100 solo exhibitions in Sweden and abroad, in Paris, Den Haag, Singapore, Copenhagen and Madrid.
150 group exhibitions and art fairs in 20 different countries, New York, Melbourne, Hongkong, Seoul, Paris, London, Miami, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore Amsterdam, Brussel, Helsinki and more.
