Johan Nobell

b. 1963, Gammlegarn, Gotland

In often delicate pastel tones, Johan Nobell depicts hallucinatory dramas, seductive on the surface, but upon closer examination, sometimes terrifying, sometimes unpleasant, always thought-provoking and wondrous. More recently, Nobell's painting has been given a more abstract language, where the precisely depicted is mixed with the unknown and intangible.

Johan Nobell is educated at the Valand Academy in Gothenburg with a MFA in 1994 and has since exhibited around the world, with gallery representation in both Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and New York. His works can be found in a number of collections, in addition to municipalities and regions also at the Swedish Parliament.
