Svante Gullichsen (FI)

Svante Gullichsen disrupts the everyday mundanity with his artwork and paints his inner landscapes for viewers to see.

He aims to create compelling, intriguing, and even unnatural situations that pique the observer’s curiosity: where is this place, how was this image taken, how does someone dare, and most importantly, what does this mean? Each piece has its own story and the rough situations in them are not meant for shock value alone; one may narrate the struggle to resurface, while another speaks to the power of peer support in addressing personal issues. The stunning natural settings serve as a stage and a natural continuum for materializing one’s thoughts into images.

In his work, Gullichsen also endeavors to highlight the role of humans as part of nature, an integral part, rather than as external observers. His works have previously been exhibited at various venues, including the Valokuvakeskus Nykyaika, Helsinki Photo Festival, and will be featured at Tallinn’s Fotografiska in the spring of 2024.
