Peter Mohall, SE

Peter Mohall (b. 1979) is a Swedish artist whose serenely cultivated landscapes draw inspiration from his experiences in Swedish and Norwegian environments, as well as the works of Nordic artists.

Mohall distinguished himself early in his career with a minimalist expression, focusing on paintings that revolve around the concept of the perfected brushstroke. In these works, the brushstroke functions as a readymade, with entire series of paintings based on an identical starting point.

Mohall’s use of earthy jute and bold, idyllic scenes creates a contemplative space rather than one of engulfment. His works strike a balance between narrative quality and non-figurative elements such as colour theory, form, and texture, encouraging viewers to explore the abstraction within the composition.

Adding to his distinctive style are his signature cast colour swatches, which destabilise narrative cohesion, drawing attention to gesture and repetition. This interplay of abstraction and structure positions Mohall as an artist who skillfully navigates the boundary between the familiar and the abstract, offering a rich visual and conceptual experience.
