Frida Johansson - Känslan

Artist: Frida Johansson

Frida Johansson was born in Falkenberg 1987. She lives and work in Stockholm. She studied at Konstfack and the Academy Valand between 2007-2013.

Her works have been shown around the country, at Liljevalchs, Fotografiska Museet and Halland Art Museum. Frida's work are represented in the collections of Halland Art Museum and Uppsala County, etc. She has participated in residencies around Europe and has been awarded a number of scholarships over the years.

In Frida Johansson's work, nature, people and the environment are depicted mainly in realistic painting. All works are pieces of stories, where one image leads to the next. Her painting is a way of processing events, and the motifs are taken from everyday moments where the people in the paintings are often in empty and silent environments, facing away from the viewer. Themes such as rootlessness, melancholy, and femininity are treated. Through art, she investigates and tries to understand her surroundings in order to make our contemporary times visible.
