Björn Wessman is one of Sweden’s most distinguished contemporary artists. In his idiosyncratic image world he seeks the essence of nature within the present, in the magic of the unfolding of events. With a poetical abstracting glance, a sonorous coloring is created, a unique image world we can refer to, where the frontiers of natural abstraction stimulate reflection upon our own relation to nature. Wessman’s art is far beyond the established representational codes. It constitutes a sort of resilience, in the form of a trust in nature’s own capacity to heal.
