“Born 1980 in Sweden, lives and works in Sweden. Viktor Rosdahl is a young painter that has been acknowledged for his dark, often furious portrayals of industrialism and contemporary society from an underdog perspective. He usually produces his work from found materials, which he attacks with ink and brushes, carves at with etching tools and smashes up, to achieve the desired effect.”
Extract from the catalogue text by Gertrud Sandqvist, Pandemonium -Art In a Time of Creativity Fever, GIBCA , Röda Sten,2011

“The largest painting in the studio is made from an mobile snapshot depicting a tree canopy, where one of his daughters has climbed up. It´s unusually gossamer, as if it was painted by Monét, not in sunlight, but out of the night.”
Extract from feature in Vi magazine, by Pontus Dahman, Sept issue 2011.
