Eyes Wide Open Painting

Swedish artist Tommy Lennartsson draws on the visual culture of street and pop art when creating his original vibrant mixed-media artworks. He employs a mix of abstract and figurative elements that give nods to neo-expressionism, faux-naїf, pop, and geometric abstraction schools of art. Lennartsson builds up his canvases with charcoal, acrylic, ink, and spray paint, and occasionally sews and stitches elements together to create striking scenes that ignite the viewer’s imagination. Impulsive Process: Colour interactions and the interplay of light and darkness are important to Lennartsson. Because of his intuitive style, no two works are the same and each one explores something fresh and exciting. Abstract Characters: Lennartsson’s vibrant, playful and boldly aesthetic paintings draw the viewer into a strange new universe. He is able to capture the imagination of the viewer with his fantastical abstract creatures and figures. The innovative way in which Lennartsson explores patterns, forms and figures lends a new dimension to formerly recognisable objects. Lennartsson has exhibited extensively in both group and solo shows in his native Sweden. His paintings belong to private collections all around the world,
