Cave

Andreas Eriksson lives in the Swedish countryside in an area characterised by wild and diverse landscapes. He has a genuine affinity to the nature in which he lives, and his works arise from this intimate connection – nature forms the conditions and provides the material for Eriksson’s work.
In the etching titled Cave, the flickering graininess evokes a certain physicality and heightens the ambiguity about whether the composition depicts nature on a micro or macro scale. The composition is not necessarily a representation of a specific place but evokes a feeling of nature. As in his paintings, shaded fields of colour meet and coalesce. Eriksson works with textures printed from multiple plates to bring forth a play between ambiguous light and dark forms in the final print.
