More information

Anders Krisár (b. 1973, Stockholm) studied at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm and the School of Communication Arts in London, and as a composer at New York University. He previously worked as an Art Director and started on his artistic path via photography. Krisár is a perfectionist and his sculptures are well-polished depictions of androgynous bodies.

An exhibition text from the Christian Larsen Gallery reads:
The pursuit of an impossible perfection and purity marks Anders Krisár’s entire artistic oeuvre. In an early interview, in connection with publishing of his award-winning photographic book Chords No. 1-17 , Krisár expresses: I want to achieve absolute purity, to depict a world without people and thoughts. Since then, Krisár has included people in his artistic universe, but he chose to put them in a form as pure as was physically possible.
However, Krisár’s stripped, de-sexed and mute sculptural figures reveal something about a human emotional state that is far from "clean". Krisárs sculptures with child torsos with deep imprints of an adult hand, or bodies split in two, holding hands with the other half - are in fact obsessively polished ”Gordian knots" of hurting, longing, splitting, and yearning to reunite. According to neurobiology and modern psychology, the pursuit of absolute purity and perfection is the brain's way of compensating for the inner emotional turmoil, and Krisár’s art seems to be a physical manifestation of this contradiction.
