BRAINIAC // luca bjørnsten

in bjørnsten's works, contemporary landscapes and nostalgic motifs are depicted, revealing unseen aspects of everyday life and rendering the depicted reality surreal.

the mundane, the familial, and that which merely exists, not necessarily imbued with great value or aesthetic beauty, are documented, isolated, and highlighted in bjørnsten's works, creating intriguing, almost parallel realities within realistic frames.

in the exhibition BRAINIAC, bjørnsten has created various motifs that come together like fragments of snapshots, akin to channel surfing or scrolling through social media. It becomes a documentation of memories and moments, which also allude to bjørnsten's own childhood.

as something new, bjørnsten will present sculptures made of lacquered papier-mâché, which, like his paintings, portray overlooked elements of everyday life.
