Johan Svensson (born 1971), lives and work in Stockholm, Sweden. Education: Umeå Art Academy and Malmö Art Academy. Johan Svensson work with a lot of different technics; sculpture, installations, drawing, text and animations. The symbolic infrastructure that Johan Svensson´s work feeds of is reality through the myths generated by our political landscape. His work is characterised by the fact that it redraws this landscape, its characters and more importantly its horizons. Irony plays an important part, not just in the final resolution of his installations, but in the way he selects and treats his themes.
