Mamma Anderson
Mamma Anderson is a contemporary Swedish painter whose works usually depict domestic senses within a house but she also likes to create landscapes. She often draws inspiration from early films. Anderson studied at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. Holding her first exhibition in 2010 at the Aspen Art Museum. Anderson’s images have a real craft to them they aren’t just painting but are like scenes. Her use of layering Is very clear in her works. It’s that layering that gives her works this depth and complexity.
While developing my own images I have found myself taking inspiration from this artist. Ive found that im drawn to the way she composes these images. How they are so detailed yet at the same time in parts have simple line work. A quote from Anderson that seems to sum up her art-making and look out on the world is “In a painting, there is no beginning or end, a moment is frozen.”. This really does relate to her work her scenes are frozen there is so much life in her image yet it’s a painting. This ability to portray a feeling of liveliness is impressive.
