About this artwork
Filler, pine panel, cotton string, dried rose
This painting shows a silhouette from my childhood in Torshälla, Sweden—an abandoned windmill without its wings. Titled Pomperipossa, it refers to Astrid Lindgren’s 1976 fairytale allegory criticizing Sweden’s high taxes. Though she exaggerated the rate, her text sparked national debate; Conservative leader Gösta Bohman even read it in parliament, and many think it helped end 40 years of Social Democratic… rule. Lindgren, still a Social Democrat, seemed like Don Quixote battling windmills: she sought fairness, yet progressive taxation embodies equality by limiting wealth hoarding. A dried rose atop the panel hints at lost social democratic promise.

« 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.
