Tomas Lacke was born in 1976 and is active in Åkersberga, Stockholm. He is a self-taught contemporary artist who works experimentally to find new ways through art. With different styles and material choices, he has built a broad portfolio in both painting and sculpture where he focuses on modern society. His style is influenced by classical oil painting, street art and religious imagery. In artistry there is a fascination for creating something beautiful out of the darkness that surrounds us. Lacke shines a light on man and his behaviour. Our dependence on technology, our vanity and our ambivalent fear of not fitting in, yet our desire to be original.

A STYLE OF HIS OWN
Tomas Lacke freely experiments with both techniques and materials. Pop art, classic oil painting, installations, and sculptures. Often the works have clear religious undertones. The result is dark, present, and intense. Without visible brush strokes, it is as if the canvases have created themselves.
"I HAVE ALWAYS DRAWED, PAINTED AND CREATED THINGS. IT HAS BEEN THERE ALL THE TIME. MAYBE BECAUSE I AM OTHERWISE A RESTLESS PERSON.”
- TOMAS LACKE -
SCULPTURES, PAINTINGS, AND INSTALLATIONS
The inspiration comes from our society and nature with all its colors and shapes. New thoughts and ideas are constantly born and without constant creation and experimentation, Lacke's internal memory bank would quickly become full. Sometimes things don't go as he intended, but even failed experiments pave the way for his future new techniques and ideas.
In your own frame workshop, you can botanize among lots of frame options. Hand-gilded classic frame, modern lists, UV-protecting glass, or all imaginable variations in between. We help you arrange the framing your work deserves to take off!
You simply pay directly at the checkout with a card or Klarna's various options. Do you shop for a company or would you like an invoice? Contact us before purchase and we will help you.
We pack your work according to all the rules of art for a safe transport to you. Of course, delivery within Sweden (and often outside) is included when you buy a work from Galleri Melefors.
RESTLESS HUNT FOR STIMULUS
Our environment and humanity's behavior, technology addiction and vanity create a constant stream of inspiration and stimulation for Tomas Lacke to be fascinated by and draw inspiration from. From the gloomy and contemporary anguish and fears, he brings forth a hopeful light and the beautiful.
RELUCTANT ARTIST
"I have never liked to call myself an 'artist'. I usually say that I work as an artist because I sell what I create. Otherwise, I'm probably as far from the classic archetype of "Artist" as you can get. If you don't pay a visit to my head - then maybe you would say the opposite!”
