Pierre Rådsten (b. 1982, active in Nässjö) is known for his fantastic narrative naivety, characterized by a colorful palette. In his paintings, the viewer is met by influences from early naïve movements with people gathering in idyllic settings and crowds. With a playful accuracy, Rådsten creates detailed oil paintings that invite the viewer to a life-affirming journey in the positive signs of naivety. In true storytelling joy, he invites us to open the door to idyllic restaurant environments, crowds of people and beautiful natural scenes inspired by his upbringing and childhood memories from gastronomy in both France and Sweden. Pierre Rådsten's creativity began at a young age with a paint box he received as a gift. Self-taught by nature, he has taken great inspiration and learning from his grandfather, the artist Rune Rådsten, whose artist friends included names such as Sven X:et Erixson and Otte Sköld.
