About this artwork
Filler, oak frame
This work shows the imprint of my left cheek. There are several different meanings associated with touching the cheek. It can mean tenderness without sexual undertones, kiss on the cheek is a greeting phrase in several cultures, and slap on the cheek is considered derogatory, it is a punishment method for shame. However, we also rest our head against the cheek when we are going to sleep. The white filler and the size of the work… can give the association a pillow. The quality of the night's sleep can indicate how the body feels, and which processes precede the subconscious.
The work is part of a series called Precari. Precari is Latin for begging, praying or wishing. It is related to the word precarious which means dependent on uncertain conditions.
The series is about the body's vulnerability and has a performative character with bodily imprints in the wet filler.

« I am interested in process-based painting, and the profound solitude of the human mind. While exploring one, I sometimes try to formulate something about the other, and how it affects our relationship with the outside world. »
Johan Söderström is a nationally-distinguished Norwegian painter. His works consist of layers of filler where various fields are laid beside each other, like pieces in a puzzle, and he uses his unique technique to emphasize cracks, textures and other aspects the material's own history. He primarily explores the theme of human alienation, and aims to ensure that his aesthetic can be perceived in ways simple enough to diminish the distance between viewer and work.
