Fredrik Roos Art Grant of 2023 – Erik Uddén

Past exhibition February 9 – March 8, 2023

The scholarship was awarded to Erik Uddén with the following motivation:

Erik Uddén with artwork Spine, 2022

“Erik Uddén connects finished wall fragments with different textures and materiality with plaster processing and painterly brushstrokes to new combinations, where you never really know what are the harvests of chance from the material’s previous life and what the artist has added as a conscious act.
It is in this open situation that the viewer feels invited to a dialogue. Uddén allows his paintings to be connected to both walls, ceilings and floors and sometimes a few windows. In this way, the installations are part of a close dialogue with the architectural space and thus the connection to society also feels like a natural part.”

The artworks Hooks, Nooks and Dirty Wobblers (One), 2023 and Hooks, Nooks and Dirty Wobblers (Two), 2023
