Pilsnabbt 2005

Rune Jansson painted Pilsnabbt on a canvas with dimensions 46 x 55 cm. What a delicious, weird, and wonderful painting! I love the white space, it's so fresh. It looks as though he has just layed down a few marks and lines, confident strokes of paint. There is an element of chance at play, an invitation for the paint to do its thing, exploring its own material properties and behaviors. I like to imagine Jansson in his studio. He mixes colors, maybe he is thinking about landscapes, or maybe it’s just a feeling. I imagine that he is moving around the canvas, spontaneously responding to what is already there. The painting process itself becomes a site of inquiry, a way of seeing and thinking about the world, it’s a conversation! We are all in conversation with other artists. It's about inspiring each other's creativity, embracing ambiguity, and allowing for multiple readings.
