Peter Johansson - Souvenir

Oct 1

Wetterling Gallery is proud to present Peter Johansson’s second solo exhibition at the gallery, titled Souvenir.
His artistic career encompasses a forty-year journey of discovering Swedish culture. Through sculpture and installation, Johansson has carefully dissected Swedish phenomena - such as painted wooden horses from Dalarna, falukorv, folk dancing, or red log cabins - amongst many others. Growing up in Dalarna in the 60s and 70s, his practice addresses his early life experiences, often portrayed with a tragicomic tone. In Souvenir, Johansson surveys several of his most well-known and celebrated pieces, displaying a personal tribute to his various endeavors.
