Ferdinand Evaldsson
Ferdinand Evaldsson, THE GARDEN II, 2023, Painted Wood Relief, Gelatin, Pigment & Saliva on Linden, 150 x 200 cm
Ferdinand Evaldsson (b. 1988, Sweden), lives and works in Stockholm. He graduated from Konstfack University of Arts, Stockholm, Sweden with an MFA in 2020. An icon painter by training, Evaldsson works with wood, metal, pigment and gelatine. Evaldsson creates wood reliefs that draw their symbolism from memories and their palette from the tradition of icon painting. It is the presence of the materials and the process of engaging with them that gives meaning to the work. Evaldsson uses his materials as a means to explore memories, both private and shared. The manual craft is for him a way to relive things he has forgotten but also to forget. It is his way of working with and understanding memory, trauma and history.
