We see motifs that often reflect animals in different, human environments: Animals in fine clothes, an elephant in the middle of New York's bustling street life, or penguins challenging each other to a tennis match wearing matching outfits.
In typical pop art style, both artists question the modern, technological and commercial symbols that exist in our time and subtly place them next to the timeless creatures of the animal kingdom and the natural that has existed on Mother Earth since the beginning of time. This creates a contrast and a combination that is difficult to forget.
Something that can be seen in both artists is a desire and curiosity to explore technology and the newly developed tools of modern times. They are happy to float away on exciting ideas but at the same time always have their feet firmly on the ground with a firm foundation in the directness and human closeness of painting.
Welcome to a thought-provoking exhibition that offers both laughter and reflection!
Johan Melefors, born 1971, founder and CEO of Galleri Melefors, grew up in a family that is the third generation in the auction and antiques industry. Already during his childhood, Johan developed an interest in art and since the early 1990s has collected and traded classic, modern and contemporary art. He started Galleri Melefors in Linköping in 2013 when he moved home from Stockholm to his birthplace of Linköping, which he felt lacked an art store and gallery with a breadth of established collector's art and a well-thought-out and future-oriented contemporary catalog to display.
