About this artwork
44x34cm | Filler, oak frame
The works in the Equal In The End series were made through the SIT DOWN For Equality project. This is a participatory art event where the public is invited to make an imprint by sitting down in the wet filler. The imprint is exhibited while drying and finally made into a finished work.
The project can be viewed as a statement against our societies escalating disparity. It wants to focus on the temporality of equality.… Most people agree that we all should be counted as equal, but when is that equality meant to take place? As equality of possibility or as equality of results?

« 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.
