Susann Brännström

(*1956, Stockholm)

Susann Brännström explores the materiality and mechanics in-between painting, digital print, and drawing. Focusing on experimental abstraction such as patterns, erased ink markers, and mutations of urban shapes, Brännström is looking for the vaguely iconic to materialize onto the physically mundane; wood, plastic, or a wall.

Part of her practice has an effect of the collaborative; generating countless public works, scenarios and exhibitions, often inviting younger artists like Tore Wallert or Ben Schumacher to work with the spatial resources she set up. In that sense, Susann Brännström has become an important local fixture, a behind the scenes shaker and maker: one who however finds peace in the quite simple equation of – what goes on in the studio and what comes out of it.

Previous exhibitions & missions at “No Day but Today”, Bjurholmsgatan 3C, Stockholm; Pelikan, Stockholm; Autocenter, Berlin, Tobey Fine Arts, New York, and Röda Sten Konsthall, Göteborg.
