ÅSA ERIKSSON'S COLLECTION
ÅSA ERIKSSON
Åsa Eriksson was born outside Umeå, her childhood was marked by nature and its changes. The heavy forests, rivers, ponds, blooming meadows and the changing of the seasons. In nature, she created her own enchanting worlds and adventures. The magic and the experiences are still there, even after 25 years as an artist. Åsa Eriksson paints nature and places she wants to step into, experience and stay in.
The mystery in Åsa Eriksson's landscape creates an opportunity for the viewer's imagination to take inspiration and travel freely. The strong recognition without exactness gives us the freedom for our own interpretation of her visual world. Åsa paints places she herself longs for, wants to be in and at the same time it attracts our senses to be drawn into the motifs.
"LIGHT AND LONGING ARE WHAT I FEEL WHEN WORKING WITH THIS COLLECTION. NATURE WITH ITS CHANGES, LIGHT AND MOODS, IS WHAT INSPIRES AND DRIVES MY PAINTING. I LET THE COLORS AND IMAGINATION GUIDE ME AND LAYER UPON LAYERS MAKE THE PICTURE GROW FORWARD. IT IS ALWAYS EXCITING TO SEE WHAT WILL BE. AND WHERE I CAN STEP IN AND STAY FOR A WHILE."

EXPRESSIVE IMPRESSIONISM
GENUINE UNBRIDLED JOY OF CREATION
From the white canvas, Åsa Eriksson draws out the motifs through layer upon layer of oil paint, scrapers and brushes. Sometimes it's as much about removing as adding. Often she starts with the canvas on the floor, twisting and turning before a harmonious landscape begins to emerge. Then the subject gets to rest before it ends up on an easel for finishing. Åsa Eriksson's style reminds us of the early leaders of Impressionism. But while the old masters had their basis in naturalism and plein air painting, capturing the external impression and reality of nature in an authentic way with light and color reproduction, Åsa's motifs come from within. She paints her inner landscapes in an expressionistic expression that is colored by her memories and feelings in combination with raw creative desire.
