Domeij Gallery proudly present Stefan Johansson and his first solo at the gallery.

In Stefan Johanssons work he create several rules that he tries to follow. It is always process based and he never fakes anything.

Stefan follows the process because he loves the materiality of the paint and he searches for a logic for painting to develop a meaning in its own sense.

Many ideas are tested and developed in an early stage, you could call this the experimental layer. 

And when he gets to paint the actual piece, he gets inspired by the process and new ideas spawn out of this.

A never ending story, like a dog chasing its own tail.

He work with coincidence so a lot of accidents happen, it’s learning by doing.

Half of the paintings he makes are discarded.
