The question of -“who am I?”, can be followed by another, maybe more pertinent, one - “what the hell is everything else?” This work might refer to the term coined by philosopher David Chalmers - the hard problem of consciousness. It poses yet another question, why and how is it that we have subjective experience?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that conscious experience takes place within the realm of language.… The tiny fraction of our mind that is conscious awareness is somehow placed outside the physical world. The real problem is the hard kernel of reality. Language is wrapped around it like a thin coat of paint, but it never really enters it. This introduces a primordial split in our minds.

« 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.
