Commission Art | Collage Shapes Cut Colours

// July 7th, 2010 // b-loud // b-uncut

Swedish artist Stefan Fransson joined our art community in February. He contributed an awesome iPhone 4 wallpaper and was crowned a winner in our competition this week. In the past few years he has taken to a distinctive digital style. He creates collages from photographs, previous paintings and 3D works. One of his digital collages ‘Thin Ice’ became a large print commssioned for the new Google Centre in Stockholm,Sweden. It became a theme for a permanent installation for the reception room where he also created a big 3D tree branch that was decorated with different prints of his collages. Get to know the wonderfully talented artist Stefan  better in the interview below. Commission art here.

What was your very first artwork?
Kind off self-tought expressionism:My Primal Scream.

Describe the piece you love the most-why?

I like ‘Thin Ice’,most.It has an interesting combination of abstraction and photographic reality. Off my latest works,it is Deep Surface.

What are your methods? Your inspirations?

I like to mix things.Fit things together,so that new images appears. Everything has to ‘melt’ into the compositons.For me this is a way to find unpredictibal meetings,of different images. Also,when I look back at my works over the years,it seems as I have been collecting patterns.Patterns that might have connection with life,change and movements,but also with image making.

What did it take to make it to where you are now?
Drawing,Composing,Collecting,Balancing.

Do you make a living from your artwork?
I am an art teacher, part-time.The rest comes from my art.

Who has helped you along the way?

Family, freinds,and other artists. Have got a lot of inspiration from the nordic nature,with the interesting changes of seasons and light.
