Håkan Berg « |
| "There is openness, serious thoughtfulness, melancholy and a zest for life in Håkan Berg's pictures. He draws with the crayons of life on the pictures of life. A few occasional forms, some sparse colours get down on the paper, just like rare night bugs circling round a single source of light." "It is the understanding that simplicity is the most difficult thing to achieve that is the foundation for Håkan Berg's work, but also the fact that the most important things in life might not always be the first to draw our attention. Everything that slowly and invisibly creates new contexts around and within us." "Håkan Berg's pictures move close to and cross different borders. This is true not only when he depicts play and seriousness but also when he discloses what there is between the lips and the words, between the ego and the world, between the eye and the image. At the same moment he makes all this that ends and fade away and what breaks through and comes to life visible." The quotations above are translations of some parts of the text by
Thomas Kjellgren in the catalogue for the exhibition called "The
serious game" in February and March 2000 at Gallery Birthe Laursen,
Paris. |
