John Ma

John Ma (China) is Artist in residence at Konstepidemin 1st June- 31st August 2017

I paint with both water color on paper and oil on canvas. Three years ago, I visited Gothenburg for the first time and was shocked by the gorgeous light and shadow of the Nordic landscape. From then on, I began to explore a new theme, straight out a view of Nordic nature and culture from an oriental artist’s eyes and express it by traditional means. Superrealism and symbolism appear in some of my works, which create a new perspective to the conversant sight. The background of my life experience in different cultures brings me up to be a trans-culture artist, give me a unique view of the world.
