That which Axel Linderholm (1981, Stockholm) paints must have been seen by him. Experienced firsthand. This is where it starts, in his immediate surroundings. He paints figures and subjects that surface recurrently: interiors, landscapes, portraits, a city park, a parking lot. Somehow this enables him to grasp the world as it is presented to him. By repeating and varying the motifs, he causes them to lose much of their original meaning. They leave the personal behind and become independent elements in a composition. Open to any meaning.
