Oskar Hult

In Oskar Hult's exhibition, the idea of transition remains at the core of his works: the formal transition of every individual painting and the space between them. Guided by intuition, Hult finds starting points and end points between figuration and abstraction, with each painting establishing its unique characteristic potential. By carefully letting the materials guide him in the process, paintings of varying sizes are hung on top of each other, some cut apart and incorporated with others, and some with wooden objects attached around and on top of the canvases. Elusive borders, like those between bodies of water, ephemerally form within Hult's paintings. In fluid dissolution and convergence, the evasive figurations sail, float and sink on seemingly still surfaces of indeterminable depths. Exhibition: galleri ANNAELLE, Stockholm, Sweden (18.01.-25.02.2018).
