Roland Persson's solo exhibition "Being Mortal Hurts" opens at Färgfabriken in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 5, 2025. The exhibition is on view from April 5 through June 15.
In his large solo exhibition at Färgfabriken, Roland Persson explores the intersection between human and nature, the conscious and the subconscious, as well as the private and the public. The exhibition is a mid-career presentation that spans over three decades of work, where Persson’s artistic journey is portrayed from early self-reflective works about childhood and inner trauma to recent works with a focus on damaged and distorted nature.
Persson creates surreal compositions through hyperrealistic casts of flora and fauna, where the flexible silicone material plays a central role. With a painterly method and experimental techniques, he succeeds in creating an extraordinary richness of detail in his sculptures. The details are so meticulously executed that they appear as real fragments of nature – frozen moments in a surreal, dreamlike world where nature clings to life despite human destruction.
