"En urban labyrint"
Anton Wiraeus
Utställningen öppnar den 16 januari kl 12-16
Öppet 16jan - 11feb. Mån-fre kl 13-16

Anton Wiraeus kommer från en streetart-tradition där han gärna jobbar med objekt, platser och med expressiva målningar som byggs upp av både organiska och arkitektoniska element, av kraftfulla färger och ett genomträngande ljus. På Galleri C Hjärne ställer han ut objekt som tillsammans bildar en installation. Objekten och målningarna har utgångspunkter i afrikanska/tribala mönster och skulpturala objekt som påminner om storstädernas enorma byggkomplex, bemålade med fantasifigurer som utmanar formen.
Resultatet blir ett landskap som kan förknippas med stadsrummets föränderliga energi, men också ett verk som på ett humoristiskt sätt vill utmana vår bild av stadens struktur.

CITY OF LIGHT

2009-10-21T06:57:00.000-07:00

Målningarna byggs upp av miljöer, en expressiv och påträngande smet av organiska och arkitektoniska element, av kraftfulla färger och ett genomträngande ljus.
Figurer och landskap som bygger upp sig själva på ett meditativt och pulserande sätt, som samklingar med storstadens puls.

Urbana uttryck Workshop 3-7 aug 2009

2009-08-18T02:26:00.000-07:00

I was leading a summer-artcamp for children in co-operation with the Uppsala artmuseum, the theme was art in urban spaces. The children made spraypaint stencils, floating sculptures that we put out in the river fyrisån and we also co-operated with the Uppsala Reggaefestival where we had a wall that the children painted and they also made scultures of materials that we got from the recycling center.
The weather was really fine and the response very positive!

2008-10-22T04:25:00.000-07:00

This installation was called "High life" and was part of my works for the Degree show of the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki.

Future museum project1. Helsinki 2007

2008-10-22T03:54:00.000-07:00

This installation was made during the Future Museum project in Helsinki 2007. The fenced space next to a car tunnel fascinated me.
All the time there was dripping from a pipe in the roof of the space. The Umbrella on top of the Structure, changed the course of the Water drips. The Warningsticks that surrounds the Umbrella structure, was "walking" out of the fenced area. A streak of yellow sand led the spectator to the place from the nearby park.

Oslo 2006

2008-10-22T03:44:00.000-07:00

Painted wooden structures "growing" out from the abandoned greenhouse. The structure was suggesting architectural sketches, but the same time it was orcanical in its way of spreading out and through its colourful surface.
The Nature was taking over the Greenhouse when I found it and the inside of it was full of the same vegetation as outside.

Helsinki 2005

This crashed and probably stolen car had been dumped and left to its faith for one month, when I decided to make an intervention. The inspiration came from the surrounding elements and the situation that I found the car in. Realized in Pasila, Helsinki the autumn 2005.

Installation in the basement of a old schoolbuilding in Berlin-Prentzlauberg, where the group exhibition caled "die Leere"(Emptiness) took part in march 2005.

Barcelona works 2004

2008-09-26T10:53:00.000-07:00

Bedwindows, was made in the old industrial area of Poble Nou. Working in Barcelona I mostly used thrown away objects. In the same area I found a apparently new matress and some window glasses that were abandoned outside a window workshop.
The bes is "floating" in the no-mans land, towards a unknown destination. The tires that it is attached to, pulls it in different directions.

Barcelona works 2004

2008-09-26T10:11:00.000-07:00

Oasis, was made in Barcelona the summer 2004.
When I moved to the neighbourhoodwhere this site was located, there was a huge house sourrounding the Palm tree. The house had been inhabitated by building-occupiers for about a year. One day the house was torn down by the police and the only thing that was left was the Palm tree.
I made a installation with found objects in the ground next to it, among them 30 new pair-less sandals that I found next to a marketplace.
